Post-Test Standards

1.a Students know cells are enclosed within semi permeable membranes that regulate their interaction with their surroundings.

1.b Students know enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions without altering the reaction equilibrium and the activities of enzymes depend on the temperature, ionic conditions, and the pH of the surroundings.

1.c Students know how prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells (including those from plants and animals), and viruses differ in complexity and general structure.

1.e Students know the role of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus in the secretion of proteins.

1.f Students know usable energy is captured from sunlight by chloroplasts and is stored through the synthesis of sugar from carbon dioxide.

1.g Students know the role of the mitochondria in making stored chemical-bond energy available to cells by completing the breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide.

Cell Biology

You have all done an excellent job in the area of cell biology. Almost all of you got your projects in on time and they look great. I'm sure your parents are very proud of you for the work you've done. I hope you were able to show them off at the Celebration of Learning. Remember, if you get an Unacceptable grade on your project you will have one week to get it finished.

The Cell Biology post test will be on

Thursday, November 29. It will be 25

questions long with each question

being worth 4 points each.
