Wednes-Day 1
Bio- we completed the full picture of mitosis and cell division by reviewing the specific details of each phase; we the examined the three parts of the "non"-division part of the cell cycle: interphase. We saw that these parts are G1 for growth of cell components, S for synthesis of DNA (duplication of the chromatin/chromosomes), and G2 more cell growth and for making products that induce/cause PROPHASE to begin.
We will now focus on DNA: explicitly/in detail, how the DNA can be replicated exactly so that there are two IDENTICAL "sister" chromatids that make up each chromosome. Eventually, these identical sister chromatids will become TWO individual chromosomes as the chromatids are pulled apart during anaphase.
I know that chromatin, chromosome, and chromatid are ALL annoyingly similar and they ALL CAN be the same thing, but we should know which term to use in a given phase of mitosis.
Reminder that text 8.2 outlines are due tomorrow, Thursday.
Chem 7- we began our new unit on the behavior of gases and the gas laws.
We started with the overall "Combined Gas Law" and then considered the relationships between two variables at a time.
We used Kinetic-Molecular Theory, mainly discussing collision frequency and collision force) to EXPLAIN Avogadro's Law and Charles's Law.
Note on current lab grades: I WILL allow, only for the labs already handed in, corrections for credit. The corrections must be ACCURATE, detailed, and VERY neat. Do ALL corrections in a different colored ink.
Chem 8/9- we began our new unit on the behavior of gases and the gas laws.
We started with the overall "Combined Gas Law" and then considered the relationships between two variables at a time.
We used Kinetic-Molecular Theory, mainly discussing collision frequency and collision force) to EXPLAIN Avogadro's Law and Charles's Law.
We then discussed, in detail, our Kinetics lab, which is due tomorrow (Thursday).
