Lab Notes (Sneha):
Overall the first lab reports went well. Please keep in mind these are training labs. Writing a lab report takes time and real understanding of what occurred in the experiment. Focus on getting familiar with what IB is requiring, rather than receiving a high grade. Ask questions and seek help if you are unsure of anything.
I am looking to see your understanding. This is going to take a time, I just want to see improvement.
Take a look at this link – use all the resources you can to improve your technique and understanding.

Week of Oct 24-28, 2011
LAB REPORT DUE THURSDAY / Please read the following: This material contains good info:
The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity- Salivary Amylase and Starch Digestion
DESCRIPTION
The ability of the enzyme amylase, found in human saliva, to hydrolyze or break down starch molecules will be demonstrated in this lab. The activity of the enzyme in various pH solutions will also be demonstrated.
MATERIALS (for a class of 30)
10 test tubes
100 ml of 1 % starch (add one gram of soluble starch in a paste to boiling water)
15 rubber bands
50 ml of iodine test solution (Lugol's iodine or 1 g iodine to 100 ml 1.0M KI) divided into 5 dropper bottles.
50 ml of 2.0 M HCl divided into 5 dropper bottles
HAZARDS
Iodine is toxic and an irritant and will stain clothing. Handle acids with care, avoid contact with skin or eyes.
PROCEDURE
Obtain a sample of saliva (1-2 ml). This can be done by chewing a clean rubber band and drooling into a test tube. It is nearly worth doing this lab just to watch students do this! Place 10 drops (no bubbles) in each of two test tubes. Add 10 drops of 1% starch to each tube and 2 drops of 2.0M HCl to one of the tubes. Allow the tubes to stand for approximately 15 minutes. It is even better to warm them in your hand during this period. Then add 1-2 drops of iodine solution. A black or dark blue color indicates the presence of starch, the yellow iodine color means no starch remains, having been hydrolyzed by the amylase. Ask students about the activity of amylase in the stomach.
Tube: Results of Iodine Test (+or-) After 15 minutes Starch+Acid+Saliva Starch+Saliva Starch only
DISPOSAL
All substances can be poured down the sink.
DISCUSSION
The enzyme amylase will catalyze the hydrolysis of starch to maltose when the pH is near 7.0. But when the HCl is added to the solution the amylase will be denatured which results in the enzyme being deactivated. The iodine serves as an indicator for the presence of starch. Iodine (I2) will reach with iodide ion to produce the I3- ion. This ion will form a dark blue complex with the starch molecule.

IB HL Bio:
Topic : Cells
DNA Packaging
1. DNA is packaged by Supercoiling from a single double helix to Nucleosomes to Solenoids To looped domains and finally a Chromosome.
2. During the Second Growth pase, G2, the chromatin or elongated DNA and histones begins to condense.
3. Condensation happens by Supercoiling
4. First, the DNA wraps around histones to produce nucleosomes
5. The nucleosomes are further wrapped into a solenoid
6. Solenoids group together in Looped domains and then a final coiling occurs to produce the chromosome
7. Eukaryotic cells contain chromosomes which before rep in the S phase are composed of one molecule of DNA
8. After rep, the chrom includes 2 molecules of DNA
9. thee 2 identical molecules are held tog by the Centromere and each molecule is referred to as a chromatid.
10. Together, they are sister chromatids
11. The chromatids will eventually sep during the process of mitosis
12. When they separate, each is called a chrom and each has it own centromere

Begin to prepare for "Paper" on C.R. for Friday. view the following excellent ppt:
http://www.slideshare.net/JonathanOLeary/ib-biology-hl-cellular-respiration
Study Guide for C.R. Exam to be given on Friday, 2/17:
1. Flow of protons (H+) in mitochondria: know location of C.R. steps . READ Questions CAREFULLY
2. Consider the intermembrane space of the mitochondrion and its relationship to the ETC
3. Sequence of stages in the conversion of hexose to pyruvate: How does glucose convert to pyruvate
4. The movement of protons or (H+) from the intermembrane space to the matrix produces ATP in mitochondria
5. REMEMBER: 3 stages of glycolysis: phosphorylation, then lysis then oxidation and ATP formation
6. Acetyl CoA functions in carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism. Consider what we said in class regarding the determination of the number of acetyl CoA molecules derived from oxidation of fatty acids. Add up the Carbons, divide by 2
7. A great explanation of aerobic respiration that includes oxidative phosphorylation appears like this:
Glucose converted to pyruvate via glycolysis
pyruvate enters mitochondria and is converted to acetyl CoA by oxidative decarboxylation. NADH and CO2 is formed. Fatty acids or lipids are converted to acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA groups enter the Krebs cycle. FAD/NAD+ accepts hydrogen to form NADH/FADH2. FADHs/NADH donates electrons and hydrogen ions to ETC. Ectrons release Energy as they pass along the chin. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor. There will be a production of water. Protons are pumped across inner membrane. protons flow into matrix of mito through ATPsynthase. ATP is produced/ 36 to 38 ATP per glucose molecule.
8. Describe the link reaction:
9. Examine an electron micrograph of mitochondrion
10. Mitochondrion and its function/structure: highlightr surface area, matrix small distance between inner and outer membranes to allow rapid mvt of molecules between cytosol and matrix and small space between memb to allow protons to be accumulated.

Classification
Week of April 23-27 Wed: REvise for your examination on Genetics/Core and AHL. Exam will occur on Friday, April 27: Please find the following points regarding your exam:
Genetic Exam:33-36 marks one optional question
Format: multiple choice, genetic problem calculations, short response
Some focus points for you to consider, although you are indeed required to know all the material from topic 4 and 10:
1. Define recombinants: you may be given a genetic problem and asked to identify recombinants
2. Linkage groups
3. Identification of genetic ratios, given a genetic scenario
4. Linked genes: given a situation, ascertain the number of gametes
5. polygenic scenarios: number of possible genotypes
6. Given genetic problems, be able to deduce the genotypes, phenotypes, expected ratios
7. Look up what a Chi Square Test is and how it may apply to genetic problems.
8. Define Autosomal genes, and linked genes and Mendel's Principles of Segregation and Independent Assortment
9. Random Chromosome assortment allows for recombination of unlinked genes.
10. Pedigree Charts: know your blood groups and genotypes
11. Colour Blindness and pedigree charts.
Friday: Orange Book REad and outline page101-110. This is due Tuesday, May One.

IB HL Biology
Final Exam Format
Part One: 30 Multiple Choice Questions based on Core and AHL material: Time allotted is 45 minutes
Part Two: Choose 2 out of 4 extended response questions on the core and the AHL, Complete One data-based question and short answer questions on the core and AHL.
Recommendations for Final Revision:
- Organize all the processes/cycles that we have studied: for example: photosynthesis, cellular respiration, enzymatic and metabolic pathways, carbon cycle, greenhouse effect, DNA Replication, Transcription , Translation, Mitosis, Meiosis
- Organize Structures: structures of chemicals, structures of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, Membrane structure, DNA/RNA structure
- Organize Graphs: Sigmoid Growth Curve, Factors affecting enzymes, Absorption and Action Spectra,
- Organize Calculation and Statistical formulas: means, standard devi, error bars, chi square analysis
- Organize Genetics: Theoretical: Crosses, genetic variety
- Organize Genetic engineering and biotech
- Organize your Chemistry: molecular structures, water properties, bonding, chemical reactions,ie. Dehydration synthesis, Condensation rxn, Hydrolysis
- Organize your Enzymes: Enzymes are involved in so many processes that we have studied. Molecular genetics(DNA) and biotech, gene transfer. Review end-product inhibition, competitive inhibition, allostery.
- Organize your Ecology topic: trophic levels, key terms, food webs/chains
- The more organized you are in your Revision, the easier your study will proceed and you will score well on your exam.
