Do Now:

To Be Completed:

Cell structure review due Sunday

• January 24, 2021

Today’s Lesson:

Go over Traits and Organisms Quiz

Go over Duckster DNA

Unit Notes: DNA and Genes

DNA

• deoxyribonucleic acid

  • herditary molecule in cell nucleus

  • stores information for cell function and traits or organism

• Four Letters

  • Info is stored in four different nucleotides called bases

  • each has one of four letters

    • A G C T

  • These form “base pairs”

    • A pairs with T

    • C pairs with G

• DNA structure

  • Molecule looks like a twisted ladder

    • Side made of phosphate-deoxyribose backbone

    • rungs made of base pairs

  • twisted shape called “double helix”

Time to work on Cell structure review

Quiz Tuesday - How Environment Affects Living Things

Today’s Lesson:

Questions relative to project?

Unit Notes:

Key nutrients for Plants

Carbon dioxide

• Needed for photosynthesis

• plants obtain from air

Water

• Needed for photosynthesis

• dissolves and caries nutrients in soil

Nitrogen

• necessary for amino acids which make up proteins

  • proteins control traits

Phosphorus

• cell membranes and ATP

  • ATP is how organisms package, store an access energy for life

Potassium

• key in controlling plant metabolism

  • growth, photosynthesis, etc.

Common fertilizers supply these three nutrients

• NPK

• “20-27-5 fertilizer” will be 20 percent nitrogen, 27 percent phosphorus, and 5 percent potassium

  • mixtures vary for different kinds of crops and plants

Add the data tables from “BrainPop Plant Growth” and 4 PLANT GROWTH FACTORS THAT AFFECT ALL PLANTS” to your notes.
