Base your answers to questions 8 through 10 on the diagram and on your knowledge of biology. A laboratory procedure involving a microscope slide is represented in the diagram to the right. à 8 State one purpose for this procedure. [1] 9 Identify one specific substance represented by the liquid in A. [1] 10 State the purpose of the paper towel labeled B. [1]
Base your answers to questions 11 and 12 on the diagram below and on your knowledge of biology. The diagram represents a cell and its changes as a result of two laboratory procedures, A and B. 11 Describe procedure A and explain why it would cause the change shown. [1] 12 Explain why procedure B has the opposite effect of procedure A. [1] Base your answers to questions 13 and 17 on the information and diagram below and on your knowledge of biology. Two models of a cell were made with dialysis tubing and placed in two beakers of fluid, A and B, each containing starch indicator (starch indicator is IODINE), as represented in the diagram below. Enzyme Z was added to the artificial cell in beaker B. The solution outside each cell was tested for the presence of sugar. Initially, no sugar was present in the solution outside each cell. The results after one hour are represented below. 13 State one reason for the color change in beaker A after one hour. [1] 14 Why did the color change in beaker A after an hour? 15 Why one of the molecules in this activity moved and not the other? 16 What is the name of the movement described and observed during this lab activity? 17 How would the results have been different in beaker B if an enzyme that digests protein was used instead of enzyme Z? [1]

Name Family: Wednesday, 01.07.15 Allergies Read the following passage about allergies, and then answer the questions below. In your answers, paraphrase, do not copy statements from the passage. An allergy, or allergic reaction, is an abnormal immune response to things that are typically harmless to most people. Any substance that you re allergic to is known as an allergen. Some common allergens include dust, certain foods, and pollen. When you're allergic to something, your immune system thinks that substance (the allergen) is bad for your body. In an attempt to protect your body, the immune system produces antibodies to the allergen. Antibodies then cause certain cells to release chemicals known as histamines, which act on your eyes, nose, throat, lungs, and/or skin to cause symptoms of an allergic reaction Allergies are usually inherited--that means they re passed down to you by your mother or father. If you have an allergy to a certain substance, chances are that one of your parents has allergies, too. In some cases, you can develop allergies if you re exposed to an allergen during a time when you re very sick or your body s defenses are weak (an allergen is any substance that causes an allergic reaction). Some allergies are the same all year round, while other allergies only flare up during certain seasons. Allergies cannot be prevented, but they can be treated and controlled. Talk with your doctor if you think you might have an allergy! If you have allergies, your body is mistaking a harmless substance for an invading germ. To fight off invading germs, the immune system forms proteins called antibodies. Antibodies bind with the germs and disable them. In a typical immune response, the immune system triggers the release of a protein called histamine. Histamine speeds the immune response by causing infected tissue to swell with antibody-rich fluids. Because it causes inflammation of the skin and breathing passages, this histamine response can cause a raw, itchy feeling. 1. What is an allergy? 2. What are some common substances that people are allergic to? 3. How does the body respond when exposed to an allergen? 4. What are some common side effects of suffering from an allergy? 5. What is a histamine?
My Dream for Science and Technology Type your introduction paragraph here. Your introduction should be your explanation of why Martin Luther King is so important to celebrate his legacy.

Continue to develop your vision for the future of Science and Technology and how you visualize your future being better by improvements made in science and technology. Give specific examples of ways in which you hope science and technology can improve our lives, our world. Choose a unit from our class (Genetics, reproduction, ecology, Human and Plant Biology, The environment) and discuss your vision for the future in the area/unit you chose. Again, be specific about the way you hope and dream our future can be improved in those areas. Lastly discuss and explain the role you think you play in contributing to that dream and those hopes of improving our lives, our future with science and technology. Your paragraph must be this long. Now write a closing paragraph for your writing. In your closing paragraph compare yourself to Martin Luther King in terms of your dream and his. His dream was/is being achieved, do you think yours can be achieved? How? Continue to develop your closing paragraph, be specific with your arguments as to how exactly do you see your dream for science and technology being achieved. Continue to write a couple more sentences, your closing paragraph must be this long. Name: Family: / Living Environment / Mr. Gil
