Science 10 and Biology 12 - cell youtube links


Bi12: Great Video Animation of Exocytosis; clearly seen is the fusion of the vesicle membrane with the Cell's own plasma membrane.


Bi12: Active Transport at the Cell Membrane: important now and later when we study the nervous system.


Bi12: Award-winning animation about the contents of our cells and as they travel through our systems.


Science 10: Please make sure you've got 6.1 and 6.2 completed in your workbooks; looking for pages 105-112 and 113-119 completed.

To prepare for your chapter 6 test, you need to do Practise Problems on pages 259-266 remembering that the answers are on p. 592. Also do the "Check your Understanding" on pages 271 and 281, as well as the Chapter 6 Review on page 282.

Retest is Friday afterschool, you must sign up.

Corrections for the Chapter 5 Test can be completed Wed or Thurs afternoon only.

Biology 12: Chapter 4 is all about Cell Membranes. Make sure you're reviewing the material a few times a week - read up on diffusion and osmosis before Friday's class.

Chapter 4 Test is on Thursday December 4th.

Please remember to check out the Southhill Website link below, as well as searching youtube with key words like "Active Transport" "Endocytosis" and even "Osmosis" and "diffusion"...

Science 10's; you have textbook review for Chapter 5.2, p. 243 #1-12, due Monday. Please read the next section and tell me how easy it was :)

Bi12's: reminder that below these posts you will find the Southhill website link. Once there, scroll down to the section on Cells and review the questions, then click on "Check your work". Remember, due to the ICBC Assembly block E on Tuesday Nov 18th, the test has been rescheduled for Thursday November 20th.
