This week, we did a lab to demonstrate the processes of cellular respiration and fermentation. We set up an experiment to determine if different amounts of sugar affected the carbon dioxide production in yeast cells. We also began discussing the processes of mitosis and apoptosis. We learned the importance of each, and had the chance to see some "mitosis animation" on Friday. Next week, we will discuss cancer and determine how this disease relates to our discussions of mitosis and apoptosis.
