3

What are genes?

  • Genes, the unit of inheritance, are located on chromosomes. 

Slide image

4

Each individual inherits one set of chromosomes from each parent. 

  • Most cells in your body have 46 chromosomes;

  • 23 from your mother and 23 from your father.  

Slide image

5

The different versions of genes are called alleles

  • Each individual inherits two alleles for a trait (one from each parent).  


Slide image

6

Genotype vs Phenotype

  • Phenotype refers to the physical characteristic (that you “see”), such as tall, green, or wrinkled. 

  • Genotype refers to the actual alleles (that are located on the chromosomes).  

Slide image

7

Homozygous vs Heterozygous

  • Homozygous means the two alleles are the same (“PP” or “pp”);

  • Heterozygous means the two alleles are different (“Pp”).  

Slide image

8

Dominant vs Recessive Traits

  • Dominant traits are always expressed; , they completely mask the other, recessive allele; you use a capital letter to represent a dominant trait

  • Recessive traits are masked when a dominant trait is present; You must have two recessive alleles for the trait to be expressed. You use a lower case letter to represent a recessive trait

10

Monohybrid vs Di-Hybrid Cross

  • Monohybrid cross - only examines 1 trait

  • Dihybrid cross - examines 2 traits on 2 separate chromosomes

What is a plasma membrane?

  • All cells are surrounded by a selectively permeable plasma membrane.  

  • “Permeable” means that substances can pass through it (either into the cell or out of the cell).  

  • “Selectively” means not everything can pass through. 

Slide image

31

What is passive transport?

  • Diffusion describes how molecules passively move from a region where they are highly concentrated to a region where they have a lower concentration.

  Surface and Volume of Cells

  • The surface area of a cell is the area of the cell that is in direct contact with the environment (essentially the plasma membrane).

  • A cell’s volume is everything inside the cell.  

  • As a cell becomes larger, surface area does not increase proportionally with volume. 

Slide image

36

How to calculate the surface area to volume ratio

  • First, calculate the surface area

  • Second, calculate the volume

  • Third, surface area ÷ volume

  • The larger the ratio, the more efficient the cell is at bringing in and taking out substances through its membrane

Dialysis Tubing Experiment Reminder

  • Set up: glucose (monosaccharide) and starch (polysaccharide) were placed in a dialysis tubing and placed in a beaker of water. IKI (iodine) was put in the water.

  • The glucose was small enough to go through the pores in the dialysis tubing into the water in the beaker

  • The starch was too big to move through the pores in the dialysis tubing

  • The iodine went into the bag and turned the starch a blue/black color.

Slide image

46

Osmosis is the diffusion of water

  • Water molecules move freely through cell membranes via the process of osmosis.

  • The predominant direction of movement of water is determined by the concentration of solutes on each side of the membrane.  

  • Water like all other substances diffuses from a region where it is highly concentrated to a region where it has a lower concentration.

Slide image

47

  What is a solution?

  • The concentration of water in a solution is determined by the solute.

  • For example, in a 5% (NaCl) solution, the concentration of the solute (NaCl) is 5%, which means the water concentration is 95%. 

  • Since solute molecules displace water molecules, the greater the concentration of solute, the lower the concentration of water. 

Slide image

48

Types of solutions

  • Isotonic - a solution that has the same solute concentration as the cell. There is no net movement of water and the overall concentration on both sides of the membrane remain constant.

  • Hypertonic - a solution that has a higher solute concentration than the cell. Water moves out of the cell, causing crenation (shrinking).

  • Hypotonic - a solution that has a lower solute concentration than the cell. Water moves into the cell, causing the cell to swell and eventually lyse (burst).

Slide image

49

Multiple Choice

If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the cell will _______.

1

stay the same

Reminder: Egg Experiment

  • The shell was removed by placing the egg in vinegar for 2 days

  • The egg membrane is an example of a semipermeable membrane

Slide image

54

Next step: corn syrup soak

  • The egg was placed in corn syrup overnight

  • There are more solutes in the syrup (hypertonic) than in the egg.

  • The water moved from the egg into the solution

  • The egg shrank or crenated.

Slide image

55

Next Step: water soak

  • The egg was placed into colored water

  • The water has less solutes than the egg. The water is hypertonic.

  • The water moved to where there was more solutes (inside the egg).

  • The egg swelled.

56

Enzymes are biological catalysts.  

  • A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed or changed by that reaction. 

Slide image

57

Activation energy is the amount of energy required for a reaction to proceed.  

  • Enzymes function by lowering the activation energy of reactions.

Slide image

58

Most enzymes are proteins. 

  •  In order to function properly, proteins must have the proper three‐ dimensional structure. 

Slide image

59

Enzyme Parts and their functions

  • Active site - The area of the enzyme where the substrate binds; its the substrate exactly

  • Substrate - The reactant that binds to the active site of the enzyme

  • Product -The end result of the reaction.

Slide image

60

   How temperature and pH affect an enzyme.

  • Since enzymes are proteins, they are sensitive to changes in their environment, such as temperature and pH. 

  • These environmental factors may affect the rate (speed) of a chemical reaction.

  • Extremes in temperature and pH can cause a protein to be denatured (lose its normal three‐dimensional confirmation

 Catechol and Catecholase

  • The enzyme catecholase and the compound catechol are found in the cells of many fruits and vegetables.

  • In intact cells, the enzyme catecholase and its substrate catechol are separated from one another. 

  • In damaged cells, the enzyme and substrate come into contact with one another and the following enzymatic reaction occurs:

Slide image

63

Why does fruit and vegetables turn brown?

  • When the product benzoquinone gets exposed to air, it gets converted to melanin.  

  • Melanin is a pigment and is responsible for the dark coloration of bruised fruits and vegetables

Slide image

64

How to tell if enzyme is working

  • To determine the rate of a chemical reaction, scientists typically use the amount of product that is formed.  

  • If a chemical reaction is occurring quickly (i.e. has a high reaction rate), then lots of product is made.   

  •  If the chemical reaction is happening very slowly or not at all, then very little product is made.

Slide image

65


  • In our experiment, the browner the sample, the more product was produced - the enzyme was working properly.

  • If the color didn't change, little product was formed - the enzyme was not denatured.

  • Test tubes on the right: 1 (no catechol) and 2 (had catechol) = 24°C; 3 (no catechol) and 4 (had catechol) = 80°C

  • Test tube 2 produced the most product - it was at the optimal temperature; Test tube 4 did not produce product because it was too hot and denatured the enzyme.

Slide image

66

Effect of pH on Catecholase

  • Low pH (4) and high pH tubes - the enzyme (catecholase) was denatured and didn't not turn brown - no product formed

  • The optimal pH for catecholase is 7 (neutral) pH - It turned brown - most product formed at neutral pH

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

  • To release energy from food molecules and make ATP

Slide image

85

 

  • Glucose (a carbohydrate) is typically used as an example of chemical energy, as this is the form of energy most cells prefer.

  • In glucose metabolism, glucose is oxidized (loses its electrons). 

  •  Oxidation of glucose using oxygen is referred to as aerobic cellular respiration.  

  • Oxgyen becomes reduced (gains electrons)

  • Remember this! LEO says GER - loss of electrons = oxidation; Gain of electrons = reduction

Slide image

86

What is the difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration (fermentation)?

  • aerobic = uses oxygen

  • anaerobic = does not use oxygen

Slide image

87

Respiration locations

  • Glycolysis happens in the cytoplasm

  • Anaerobic respiration happens in the cytoplasm

  • Aerobic respiration starts with the products of glycolysis: in the mitochondria

  • Pyruvate oxidation and Kreb's cycle happen in the stroma of the mitochondria

  • Oxidative phosphorylation (ETC and chemiosmosis happen in the inner membrane of the mitochondria

Slide image

88

Lactic Acid Fermentation 

  • Sometimes your cells are unable to get the oxygen they require for this process. 

  • When you are exercising heavily, your muscle cells cannot get oxygen fast enough; they then switch to an anaerobic (without oxygen) breakdown of glucose called lactic acid fermentation. 

  • Glycolysis proceeds normally and produces 2 ATP and 2 pyruvic acids


Slide image

89

Alcoholic Fermentation

  • Glycolysis proceeds normally and produces 2 ATP and 2 pyruvic acids

  • With the absence of oxygen, ethanol and CO2 is produced; NAD+ is regenerated

  • Yeast cells are single‐celled eukaryotic organisms (belonging to Kingdom Fungi).  

  • When oxygen is not present (anaerobic conditions), yeast ferment glucose to produce ethanol and release carbon dioxide gas.  

Slide image

90

Bromothymol Blue

  • When carbon dioxide gas bubbles through a bromothymol blue indicator solution, the indicator solution turns yellow. The yellow color indicates an acidic solution. Aerobic cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide gas which combines with water forming carbonic acid, lowering the pH. 

  • When carbon dioxide is being removed from the solution through the process of photosynthesis, the indicator solution turns blue. The blue color indicates a more basic/alkaline pH. 

Slide image

91

Algae Beads Experiment Results

  • Tube 1 - algae beads were placed in light; tube not covered. Algae beads changed the color of the solution in tube to bluish color indicating carbon dioxide being removed from solution - this indicated photosynthesis occurred

  • Tube 2 - tube with algae beads was covered over so no light entered in tube. Solution turned yellow indicated a lower pH which indicates cellular respiration occurred in this tube.

Slide image

92


  • Flask A contains yeast and a sugar solution, and Flask B contains only a sugar solution.  Each flask is connected to a container containing a bromothymol blue indicator solution by a U shaped tube.  

  • Is carbon dioxide produced in Flask A or Flask B?  Flask A (turned yellow) - Flask A produced carbon dioxide which turned the solution acidic - BMB turns yellow with low pH

  • What caused the production of carbon dioxide? Yeast was fermenting the sugar solution producing ethanol and releasing CO2

Slide image

93

   Photosynthesis

  • Plants and plant‐like organisms are unique in that they are able to produce their own food (sugar) using only two reactants, carbon dioxide and water.

  • This light‐driven process is called photosynthesis.

  •  “Photo” refers to light, and “synthesis” refers to the organic molecules that are produced (sugar). 

  •  The products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar) and oxygen gas (O2)

Slide image

113

Photosynthesis

  •  Products of photosynthesis: Glucose is used by almost every organism as a source of energy, and oxygen is used by animals and other organisms in the process of aerobic cellular respiration.  

  • The general equation for photosynthesis is:

  • Light Reaction: In the first stage of photosynthesis (the light reactions), the energy trapped by these pigments is used to create the products ATP and NADPH. Gives off oxygen as a byproduct

  • Calvin Cycle: The products from the light reaction (ATP and NADPH) and CO2 are used in the Calvin cycle to synthesize sugar.

  • Organisms that make their own organic molecules (sugar) are called autotrophs, and they form the base of any food chain.  Therefore, all life is dependent upon these photosynthetic organisms to produce food and oxygen for virtually every living thing on Earth; Plants, some bacteria and some protists

  • Organisms that do not make their own food are called heterotrophs. They consume plants or other animals for their energy; All animals and fungi are heterotrophs

Water is essential for photosynthesis

  • Without water, photosynthesis could not take place.  

  • Therefore, plants must have adequate amounts of water to live and thrive.  

  • Plants receive water from roots or root‐like structures.  

  • Water may be conducted from these structures to other parts of the plant for use in photosynthesis.

Transpiration and the Potometer

  • Transpiration is defined as water loss from plants via "pores" in the leaves termed stomata.  

  • A potometer is a device used to estimate transpiration rates

  • Measurements were taken at the beginning of the experiment, then 30 minute increments.

Potometer results

  • Transpiration rate = total volume of water transpired in ml/total time in hours

  • First, calculate the total volume of water transpired in mL: Take the intial reading - the final reading: -2.8 mL - (-0.7 mL) = -2.7 mL

  • -2.7 mL/2.5 hours = -0.85 mL is the transpiration rate

Paper chromatography

  • Chromatography lets us separate substances according to the size of their particles.

  • As the solvent rises through the paper, it dissolves the sample mixture, which then travel up the paper.

  • Small particles travel further (and faster) than large particles, due to differences in solubility and their attractions with the paper.
