Chapter 8 Cellular Transport and the Cell Cycle Expectations

 

  By the end of the unit you should have the following completed:

 

1.     Be able to define and give an example when appropriate of:

Group A:  diffusionP, osmosis, isotonic solution, hypertonic solution, hypotonic solution, passive transport, facilitated diffusion, active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, phagocytosisP, pinocytosisP

Group B: chromosomes, chromatin, mitosis, cytokinesis, interphase, G1 stageP, S stageP, G2 stageP, prophase, centromere, sister chromatids, centriole, spindle, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, daughter cells, tissue, organ, organ system

Group C:  cancer, malignantP, benignP, tumor suppressor genesP, oncogenesP, contact inhibitionP

Pindicates vocabulary not found in the text but will be covered in class notes.

 

2.     All of the readings should be read with the goal of being able to discuss/explain the information contained in them.

Section 8.1 Cellular Transport                        Section 8.2 Cell Growth and Reproduction

Section 8.3 Control of the Cell Cycle

3.     Record all the material presented in class notes and commit them to memory.

4.     Have the following expectation questions answered in your notebook.  Be sure to label the group number with your questions

Group 1 Cellular Transport

  1. Explain how osmosis and diffusion are alike and how they are different.

  2. Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion.

  3. Cells in the human body constantly use oxygen during metabolism.  Blood contains oxygen.  Why does oxygen diffuse into the cells from the bloodstream?

Group 2 Cell Growth and Reproduction

1.  In what ways is the size of cells determined by diffusion?

2.     Describe the nuclear activities during

a.     Interphase                           d. Anaphase

b.    Prophase                              e. Telophase

c.     Metaphase

3.     What is the role of the spindle fibers in mitosis?

4.     Why is it necessary for a cell’s chromosomes to be distributed to its daughter cells in such a precise manner?

5.     How is cytokinesis different in plants and animal cells?

     6.  At one time, interphase was referred to as the resting phase of the cell cycle.  Why do you think this description is no longer used?

Group 3: Control of the Cell cycle

1.     What role do oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes play in cell division?

2.     What is contact inhibition?  What happens to contact inhibition when cells begin dividing out of control?

3.     Describe how genes control the cell cycle.

4.     What is the difference between a benign and a malignant tumor?

 

5.     The following labs should be handed in with discussion questions written out and answered in complete sentences.  Conclusion, if assigned, should include restatement of purpose, summary of data, data interpretation, and evaluation of hypothesis.

Diffusion through a membrane                                                  Cell snacking

     Problem solving lab 8-1 Drawing Conclusions p. 209                  Mitosis lab 

Problem Solving lab 8.3 Interpreting data p. 218                        Cell size lab?

6.     Know how to convert from one unit to another in the metric system using factor label method.

7.     Know all organelles, their location in the cell and their function.

8.     Be able to recognize the different stages of mitosis in a prepared microscope slide.

 

Extra Credit: All homework must be turned in on time for this chapter in order to be eligible.  Must be turned in before taking the test.   (maximum 3 pts on test)

 

Gather information on melanoma, a type of skin cancer.  Look for information dealing with the cause, symptoms, and treatment.  Use at least 3 different sources that you report in your written paper.  (Remember:  search engines do not count as a source. They are a way to find a list of sources.  Report the actual page addresses for the information you use)  Also you must use 2 different types of sources i.e. books, encyclopedia, internet.  You may not use 2 internet sites.  Your paper must be typed, 12 pt. Font, black ink, with 1 inch margins on all sides.
