Hi everyone,
We finished discussing cytology (study of cells) today and we also started exploring the transport in cells : How do substances enter in and out the cells? Your task is to review the material we did in class and apply the concepts you've learned in the lab investigation you'll be doing on Mon, Nov. 5th? Do you have any question regarding the pre-lab discussion we did today? Do you have question regarding your long term lab investigation: Observing Osmosis?
If you have any, please just post them. By the way, you may also post any interesting data or thoughts that you would like to share with your classmates.
Thanks and enjoy your experiments! Ms. Dimatulac

i thought it was really interesting to see the way the egg lokked after we took it out of the vinegar. It was so delicate and it felt as if i was holding a water balloon. I am really looking forward to seeing what the syrup will do to the egg!!:)

i believed that the eggg expirement helped me understand the lesson better i enjoyed seeing the inside of the egg at a diffrent point of view because i had only seen the egg cracked and not in the same shape except without the shell.
it was a great experiment

hello ms. dimatulac,
i had a qiuck question about the short essays we have to do for homework.There is a question that i don't know how to answer: Describe the movement of protiens through the internal membrane system of a cell. I am not sure if you want me to talk about the organelles like the ER that move the protiens throughout the cell or to talk about the active and passive tranport that involves the transport proteins. Thank you so mcub and hope to hear from you soon. Have a great day!:)

Hi Gladis,
You're in the right track if you trace the movement of proteins starting from its synthesis by the ribosomes and ending to either when it is used by the cell itself or when it is secreted out of the cell to be used somewhere else in the body. I hope this gives you a better idea. Have a great one too!
