AP Biology Quarter 4: Weeks 32-33 April 29-May 10, 2013 DATE IN CLASS HOMEWORK 1. Ch 32 Notes Plant Nutrition and Transport Monday DUE: W 5/1 (3; 95 min.) * How do plants obtain and transport water and 4/29/13 nutrients? Wednesday AP Lab: Transpiration 1. Transpiration Postlab (3; 80 min.) DUE: F 5/3 5/1/13 * What factors affect the rate of transpiration? Friday Plant Regulation 1. Ch 33 (3; 95 min.) DUE: T 5/7 5/3/13 * How is the growth and development of plants regulated? How is this regulation similar to/different than animal endocrine systems? Tuesday Biology: A Synthesis 1. Synthesis (3; 95 min.) Presentations * Isn’t it incredible how much biology you know?! 5/7/13 DUE: Th 5/9 Synthesis Presentations 1. AP Bio Exam Thursday (3; 95 min.) DUE: M 5/13 * Isn’t it incredible how much biology you know?! 5/9/13 Monday AP Exam NO HOMEWORK!!! (3; 200 min.) * Demonstration of Understanding!!! 5/13/13 Knowledge: Uptake and Transport of Nutrients Uptake of water and nutrients and water by roots: Casparian strip Transpiration-cohesion-tension mechanism Guard cells and transpiration Pressure-flow mechanism Plant Nutrients and the Soil nutrients and soil structure Fungi and plant symbioses, adaptations for obtaining nutrients, plants and bacteria Plant Nutrients and Agriculture Agricultural research and GMO Plant Hormones Darwin’s experiments on phototropism hormones: auxin, cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid, ethylene Growth Responses and Biological Rhythms in Plants Tropisms: phototropism, gravitropism, thigmotropism Circadian rhythms and biological clocks (nastic movements)
