Each plant will either have a purple (P) or green (p) stem and also have either have green (G) or yellow (g) leaves. Suppose that we cross a dihybrid heterozygous plant with another plant that is homozygous purple stem and heterozygous for the leaf trait. Make a Punnett square to figure out the expected ratios for the phenotypes of the offspring. Suppose a class observed that there were 234 plants that were purple stem/green leaves and 42 that were purple stem/yellow leaves. Does this provide good evidence against the predicted phenotype ratio? Using your understanding of genetics, what might be one reason why the class got these results?

The following table reports the rates of metabolism of a species at a series of ambient temperatures: Temperature (ºC) Rate of Metabolism (µlO2 g -1h-1.) 15 10 20 13.42 30 21.22 (a) Calculate the Q10 values for each temperature interval. (10/(T2−T1)) Q10 ={R2/R1} (b) Within which temperature interval (15-20 or 20-30) is the rate of metabolism most sensitive to temperature change? Surface Area to Volume and Water Potential Review 1) Cells throughout the world have variable shapes and sizes. Because of this, and because structure is designed around function, certain shapes are optimal for certain processes. Analyze the following cells (units not to scale), and determine the following… Cell 1 (spherical) where the radius is 3 mm Cell 2 (flat and rectangular) where the height is 0.5mm, length is 4mm, width is 2mm A) What is the surface area to volume ratio of both cells? How to calculate Surface Area? Surface area How to calculate Volume? Volume Surface area to Volume Ratio Cell 1 Cell 2 B) Conclusion: Compare the ratios and explain why one cell would be more efficient than another. C) Are you made of lots of large cells or lots of small cells? Why? How do you actually grow in height? 2) Water potential in potato cells was determined in the following manner. The initial masses of six groups of potato cores were measured. The potato cores were placed in sucrose solutions of various molarities. The masses of the cores were measured again after 24 hours. Percent changes in mass were calculated. The results are shown below. Graph these data to the right of the table. From your graph, label where the cells were hypotonic and the solution was hypertonic, and vice versa. Determine the apparent molar concentration (osmolarity) of the potato core cells. Molarity of Sucrose in Beaker Percent Change in Mass 0.0 M 18.0 0.2 5.0 0.4 -8.0 0.6 -16.0 0.8 -23.5 1.0 -24.0 Looking at the water potential equation, Pressure potential is always (positive/negative), while solute potential is always (positive/negative). When Solution potential goes down (gets more negative), water potential ____________________ When Pressure potential goes down (gets smaller), water potential ____________________ When would the pressure in a cell rise? (Under what conditions?) What would happen to the solute potential when Concentration is increased (justify with equation)? WHY? What would happen to the solute potential when Temperature is increased (justify with equation)? WHY? What would happen to the solute potential when the dissolved substance is glucose vs. salt (justify with equation)? WHY? Why is water potential important for plants? What are they lacking? Predict what would happen to animal cells placed in 0.0M and 1.0M concentration solutions. ∆G = ∆H - T ∆S What is Entropy? = a measurement of ______________________________ When ∆S is positive this means there is __________________________ When ∆S is negative this means there is __________________________ What is ∆H? = a measurement of __________________________ When ∆H is positive this means the reaction is __________________________ When ∆H is negative this means the reaction is __________________________ What is Gibbs Free energy? = a measurement of ___________________________ When ∆G is positive this means the reaction will happen _________________________ When ∆G is negative this means the reaction will happen _________________________ ∆G (Joules) ∆H (Joules) T (Kelvin) ∆S (J/K) 1000 300 5 1100 300 5 1200 300 5 1300 300 5 1400 300 5 1500 300 5 1600 300 5 1700 300 5 1800 300 5 1900 300 5 What happens to ∆G when ∆H goes up ? WHY? What happens to ∆G when ∆H goes down ? WHY? This is a simple example of energetic coupling, where an unfavorable reaction is driven by a favorable one, as shown in Figure 1 . Figure 1 Coupling doesn't occur all by itself. In this example, if this experiment were set up so that the ATP would have to be hydrolyzed in one tube and the glucose phosphorylated in another, no coupling would be possible. Coupling can occur only when the partial reactions are part of a larger system. In this example, coupling occurs because both partial reactions are carried out by the enzyme hexokinase. In other cases, coupling can involve membrane transport, transfer of electrons by a common intermediate, or other processes. Another way of stating this principle is that coupled reactions must have some component in common. The “orderliness” of your body is not favored by free energy. Explain (in terms of free energy and disorder) why you need to perform digestion? Why does decomposition of a dead animal happen in terms of energy? What would happen if we increase temperature? Why do we freeze food? Explain why plant cells need light to build sugar (in terms of energy). Primary Productivity – The rate at which organic materials are stored 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 One can determine Primary Productivity by measuring dissolved oxygen in the water (as it is hard to measure it in the air) Conversion Factors: To convert: ppm O2 = mg O2/L mg O2/L x 0.698 = ml O2/L ml O2/L x 0.536 = mg carbon fixed/L Fill in the table and Graph Net and Gross Productivity vs % of light Using your data table, what seems to be the trend as the % of light decreases? WHY? Using your data table, what seems to be the trend as the % of light increases? WHY? Where would you say this organism is using as much energy as they are making? WHY? Using your table and graph, explain why most of the time there are bigger plants on land than in the sea? Explain this in terms of evolution % light DO (mg O2/L) Net PP = Bottle – Initial (mg O2/L) Gross PP = NPP + Respiration Rate (mg O2/L) Gross Carbon fixed in mg C/L mg O2/L  ml O2/L ml O2/L  mg C/L Initial 8.4 -- -- -- -- Dark 6.2 -- -- -- -- 100% 10.2 65% 9.7 25% 9.0 10% 8.5 2% 7.1 Respiration Rate Respiration Rate = Initial – Dark (mgO2/L) Respiration Rate = _________________ Two researchers, one at Toolik Field Station in northern Alaska and the other at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica, are studying populations of aquatic arthropods in freshwater pools during July. The researcher in Alaska determines an average of 280 arthropods per m 3 of water in the pools she is studying. The researcher in Costa Rica determines an average of 125 arthropods per m 3 at his study site. In terms of the current lab, how would you account for this difference? You are the Water Quality Director for Derry County. In this capacity, you are asked to review reports of two fish kills in the county. Both involve artificial ponds with surface areas of approximately 0.8 hectares and maximum depths of 7 meters. Tests performed immediately after the fish kills detected no pesticides or other poisons. The dead fish showed no signs of fungal attacks or other disease. Case A involves a pond stocked with bass and used for recreational fishing. Meteorological records show that the kill occurred after 4 weeks of hot weather in which daytime temperatures reached 35–40°C. Case B involves a pond stocked with bluegill and used to irrigate pastureland. This kill occurred in the spring, before the heat wave and 9 days after a heavy rain. The file for Case B contains a photo showing dead fish floating in the pond. You also notice what appear to be mats of decaying algae floating on the surface of the water. A call to the farmer reveals that he applied ammonium nitrate to the pastureland the week before the rain. State your judgment as to the probable causes of these fish kills, and describe the chain of events that led to each.
