Objectives/ Learning
Goals

SWBAT follow a multistep procedure

IOT observe and summarize the effects
of solute concentration on diffusion
and osmosis.
SWBAT synthesize information from
various sources IOT predict the
direction of water flow into or out of a
cell.

SWBAT synthesize information

from various sources IOT explain
the laws of energy transformation.
SWBAT outline the main idea of a
text IOT discriminate between the
work performed by ATP.

SWBAT integrate
information from
various sources IOT
explain the allosteric
regulation of enzymes.
SWBAT summarize
the main idea of a text
IOT determine the
specific localization of
enzymes within the cell.

Formative
Assessment Questions

What is diffusion and what evidence

shows it has occurred?
How can you use osmosis to
determine the concentrations of
solutes?
Why are cells usually so small?

Why is it that, most cells cannot

harness heat to perform work?
What is the second law of
thermodynamics?
What does it mean when an
enzyme has been inhibited?

Why are some bacteria

metabolically active in
hot springs?
What characteristics
are associated with
allosteric regulation of
an enzymes activity?
If an enzyme is added
to a solution where its
substrate and products
are in equilibrium, what
would occur?
