Grade/Course: Bio 9C
Week 15: December 13 - 17, 2010
Week overview: In the first part of the week we’ll finish up the respiratory system and then have a quiz on
membranes and the respiratory system. Then we’ll move on to the circulatory system to study blood, blood
vessels, and the heart. We’ll finish up the week with the heart dissection!
OBJECTIVES
SWBAT…
Explain how the diagram controls
breathing.
Explain how the process of gas exchange
relates to diffusion.
Demonstrate knowledge of membranes
and the respiratory system on the quiz
HOMEWORK
1. Breathing w/
Balloons
2. Notes: Breathing and
Gas Exchange
1. Quiz: Membranes
and Respiratory
System
2. Start HW

In your notebook, take
notes based on the
questions on the back of
this sheet.
None if you finish class
work.
Additional Information:
Revisions for the Denatured Enzyme Lab are due next Tuesday, 12.21.10, at the start of
class. I need ALL original documents (lab report and rubric) to accept the revision. If the
original work is not stapled to the revision, then I will NOT accept the revised work.

Monday HW: Study Guide for Tuesday’s QUIZ on Membranes and the Respiratory System
If you can answer all of these questions, you’re prepared for the quiz.
 Cell Membranes
o What is the function of the cell membrane?
o What is its structure?
 Significance of the lipid bilayer
 Selective Permeability?
o What are the different ways substances move across cell membranes? How are they different?
 Osmosis
 Diffusion
 Facilitated Diffusion
 Active Transport
o Which of these is used for Gas Exchange?

Respiratory System
o What is the function of the Respiratory System?
o Trace the path of oxygen from the air through at least 4 structures of the respiratory system to the
bloodstream
o How does breathing happen (physically)… think: “balloon in the bottle”
o Explain the process of gas exchange
Tuesday HW: Questions for Section 37-1.
Take reading notes on pages 942-947 in the Biology textbook (this is the first half of Section 37-1).
Put notes in your notebook. Additionally, take notes on the following in your notebook:
1. How does the circulatory system relate to the respiratory system?
2. What is the overall purpose/function of the circulatory system?
3. Define the following terms in your own words, and be sure to note the function of each:
 Heart
 Pulmonary Circulation
 Systemic Circulation
 Arteries
 Capillaries
 Veins
4. Compare and contrast the structures and functions of the 3 types of blood vessels (arteries, capillaries,
veins).
5. Describe the path of blood circulation through the body. Draw a diagram to help explain your answer.
