11/20

On Monday we discussed the processes of mitosis and apoptosis. We learned the importance of each, and we discussed how the regulation of each process is necessary in order for a cell to function properly. On Tuesday and Wednesday, students learned more about cancer and how this disease is related to problems with cell processes. We discussed the types of tumors, treatment methods, and possible causes of cancer. On Thursday, students used computer activities to review all of the cell processes that we had discussed in class. Students watched videos and animations of active and passive transport, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, mitosis, apoptosis, cancer, and the cell cycle. We reviewed for our cell processes test on Friday, and we will take our Chapter 4 test on Monday. This will be one of the first grades entered for the new trimester.
