November Blog Post AP Biology 14-15

This week in AP Biology we began to look at the processes of cell division, namely the cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis.  Understanding of these processes is essential and a hot topic in medical research.  Many human diseases can be traced to problems associated with the regulation of the cell cycle.  To that end, in this week’s blog I would like you to read the linked article and then pose one question that is generated having read the article on cell cycle regulation.

October Blog Post - AP Biology 14-15

Great job on last month's blog post!  This week we will be learning about enzymes and conducting several inquiry based labs about enzymes to learn how they work.  Turns out enzymes are "wicked" important in biology and everywhere we turn we will see examples of their use.


What I would like you to do this week is to follow the link below and choose one article about enzymes to read and summarize for the class.  Please include the title of the article you chose to summarize.  Please do not choose an article that has already been summarized.  Finally toward the end of the week, go back and read the summaries of the other articles.  Enzymes are amazing!
