Although there is still some time before your end of year examinations, I want to give you plenty of time to make notes in your exercise books. We do not make revision notes in class (this allows more time for practical work, activities and problem solving). You will therefore be expected to do so in your homework time over the next few weeks.
For next Wednesday, you should make notes on characteristics of living organisms and variety of living organisms (see attached document). Follow this link:
http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/virtual_labs/BL_02/BL_02.html Read the introduction on the left and follow the instructions. Take a couple of screenshots to demo what you are doing on your blog. Also, if you get time, answer the "journal questions". Use this website: http://www.kscience.co.uk/animations/photolab.swf Choosing your own independent variable, plan, carry out and evaluate an experiment investigating how a limiting factor affects the rate of photosynthesis. You should fill in the writing frame (the hint sheet is there to help).
DUE NEXT MONDAY
You should know (for a short key word quiz) and be able to apply the key words listed below. Use these key words as much as possible in summarising one news story from one of the following sites: http://www.enn.com/ (Higher level) http://www.independent.co.uk/environment Put your summary on your blog. Abiotic factors the non-living physical and chemical attributes of a system, for example light or temperature in an environment. Autotroph an organism that uses solar energy or chemical energy to manufacture the organic compounds it needs as nutrients from simple inorganic compounds obtained from its environment. Biotic factors attributes in an ecosystem that refer to living organisms. Community formed by populations of different species living together and interacting with each other. Consumers heterotrophs that feed on living organisms by ingestion. Cross breeding when members of different species breed together. Detritivores heterotrophs that obtain organic nutrients from detritus by external digestion. Ecosystem community of different species interacting with each other and with the chemical and physical factors making up the non-living environment. Heterotroph an organism that gets its organic nutrients by feeding on autotrophs or other heterotrophs. Inorganic nutrients chemical elements, compounds, and other substances necessary to sustain life processes that are not chemically carbon-based. Interbreeding when two members of the same species mate and produce offspring. Population a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. Saprotrophs heterotrophs that obtain organic nutrients from dead organisms by internal digestion. Species groups of organisms that can potentially interbreed to produce fertile offspring. Sustainable communities communities that are capable of being maintained at a steady level without exhausting natural resources or causing severe ecological damage. You should be able to...
