Assignment:
Part A:
1) In your own words, why should all Grade 11 Biology students know about their health and wellness?
2) Imagine you are a cell biologist. How and why would you use a microscope to study cellular structures?
3) If a cell lacks functional lysosomes, what might be the consequences for the cell?
4) A student is looking at a sample of a living thing collected from a sample of pond water. They say that because there is no nucleus, they are looking at an example of a eukaryote.
Explain why they are incorrect. What type of organism are they actually observing?
5) There are four cell parts that are present in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
i) Sketch this diagram on your answer sheet and label two of these cell parts on the diagram below.
ii) On your answer sheet, name the remaining two cell parts that meet these criteria.
6) Which scientist first stated that all organisms are made up of cells?
7) Why is the role of oxytocin in childbirth considered an example of Positive Feedback instead of Negative Feedback?
Part B: Long answer question.
8) Compare and contrast plant and animal cells, focusing on their unique structures. You may include a drawing to support your answer.
9) Imagine you are travelling to the Amazon Rain Forest as a future Zoologist and encounter an animal called the Sloth for the first time. In your opinion, which four characteristics of life would best describe your observations of this organism?
Make sure to explain why you selected each characteristic to receive full marks.
Part C: Drawing and/or Labelling Diagrams
10) Briefly describe how thermoregulation is achieved within the human body when you are sweating on a beach on a 35oC summer day. Make sure to include your knowledge of the effector, control center and effector in your response.
11) a) Create a diagram illustrating the 3 structures unique to plant cells [ie. Not seen in animal cells]. Make sure to label the names of these major organelles in your diagram.
b) Create a diagram illustrating the 2 structures unique to animal cells [ie. Not seen in plant cells]. Make sure to point to these parts in your diagram and write a brief description of their function.
BONUS QUESTION: Why is the virus that causes COVID-19, called SARS-CoV-2, not considered to be alive by Biologists?
