Second day of cellular diversity lab

Tuesday October 23^rd

Today we continued with the cellular diversity lab and answering questions from this chapter.  I also announced the extra credit option that is available on edline. If you decide to do that, please get that to me by Friday.  I also added the additional option to make a poster or pamphlet of one of the disorders you chose for an ADDITIONAL 5 bonus points!!  That's up to 20 extra bonus points guys!!  

Tomorrow we will wrap up the activities we have been working on and get all make up work taken care of!!

here were today's Daily Questions:

I look under a microscope and see rigid cell walls and green structures inside cells.  Because of this what can I infer about the cell?  That it is most likely a plant cell.  Just the presence of a cell wall does not automatically make it a plant cell because bacteria also have cell walls.  The presence of the chloroplast does that indicate that it is a plant cell. Some disorders are caused by a lack of lysosomes in the cells of a particular tissue, what would result from this? (what would happen in the cell?)  Since lysosomes aid in breaking down cellular "junk" and removing it from the cell the lack of those would cause a build up of wastes and the cell would become "toxic" If the golgi apparatus was out of order in a cell, what would the direct result of that be regarding protein production and transportation? Since the golgi apparatus is responsible for putting finishing touches on proteins that were made in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, it these were out of order protein that were meant to be shipped out of the cell would not.
