Lesson 4 summary - Limiting factors

Image
- Whiteboard recap of key words relating to light dependent stage - Whiteboard recap of light independent stage including the terms "carbon fixation step" - Analysis of graphs showing the relative abundances of GP and TP in light and dark conditions: - GP increases because the conversion of GP to TP requires the products of the light dependent reactions - The carbon fixation step DOES NOT require these products and hence the levels of RuBP drop Photosynthetic pigments - Explanation of the need for additional photosynthetic pigments using the idea of red seaweed as an example Limiting Factors - Identification of temperature, light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration as the main limiting factors of photosynthesis MINI TEST TOPIC - Classification and Evolution

Mutations lesson

Image
- Discussion of the broad categories of mutations (chromosome and gene) - Division of gene mutations into point and indel mutations - Division of point mutations into silent, missense and nonsense mutations (with examples) - Comparisons of the varying effects of the different types of mutations, with indel and nonsense often being the most detrimental - indel mutations cause a FRAME SHIFT in most circumstances meaning that every subsequent triplet is affected by the mutation - Discussion of the need for differential gene expression - this allows cells to become SPECIALISED - they need to express different genes at different times - Discussion of the different types of gene expression control/regulation: 1. Transcriptional 2. Post-transcriptional 3. Post-translational HOMEWORK - revise for mutations quiz, complete the mutations questions sheet and complete the year 12 PLC and bring on a USB
