Wednesday, Feb 27: What to cells and the chicken dance have in common?

Hey All-Stars,

What do cells and the chicken dance have in common?

ALL THE THINGS. EVER.

Okay, so we spent yesterday doing a gallery walk about cells and microbiology and epidemiology.
- Your note packet will be a good resource for the rest of this unit. KEEP IT!
-Today we will wrap up our cell review and use that information to move on to microbiology and epidemiology.

Title the space under today's warm up "Cells: Review"
Write down only the parts in italics and highlighted.

Task 1, What do cells do???:
1) With your group, spend 3 minutes preparing to show the information on your card. Use the whiteboard and yourselves.
2) Present.

Write down, in complete sentences:
1) _____________ (most or few) organisms are uni-cellular.
2) _____(eu or pro)karyotic organisms have membrane bound organelles.
3) Cellular respiration happens in _____________ and uses oxygen to turn food into ____________.
4) Organisms are made up of ____________ which are made up of _______________.
5) Cells need nutrients because they...
6) The cell/plasma membrane is ______________ permeable, meaning it controls what enters and leaves the cell.

Task 2, Mitosis and Meiosis:

Watch the following videos and answer the questions:
A) Mitosis:
   1) Mitosis results in TWO genetically ______________ (identical or different) daughter cells.
   2) The stages of mitosis in order are _____________, _______________, _______________,     _______________, and ______________.
  3) Once ____________ occurs, the cells are separate.
  4) Creates regular body cells with ____________ (the same/ half the) number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
B) Meiosis:
  1) _______ cells form during meiosis.
  2) The cells __________ (are/are not) identical because of genetic crossover. 
  3) Creates sperm and egg cells with ___________(the same/half the) number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

MITOSIS!


MEIOSIS!

We'll also visit this site for more information on meiosis and mitosis.

Task 3:

Learn the mitosis chicken dance! :-)
