IMPORTANT! NEW SI FORUM
So since I do not give out answers to quizzes and exams taken in SI sessions, I get emails and lots of questions about certain
topics covered in SI. Well I am now pleased to announce that our Biology 1442 class now has its own SI Forum.
click HERE for SI FORUM
On this forum, students will have to join the Get More Out of College Forum
Created by Eliel Arrey and will be able to ask questions about specific parts of any test or quiz to their peers.
Other students who know the answer or have similar questions can then share responses freely.
:)
Hope this new addition makes getting answers to questions easier and increases opportunities
for learning.
Thank you, E. Arrey

Chapter 35: Plant Structure, Growth & Development
Hand Outs coming soon.
How to master chapter 35:
Unfortunately, you would have to memorize the different plant cells, tissues & organs, and their respective functions. Dr. Frederick has tables well outlined in her Exam I review posted and available on blackboard. That review, well put together, has all the cells, tissues, and organs in a tabulated and easy fashion. She even has examples for every single cell, tissues, and organ.
Plus what you can definitely expect to find on exam 1 day are 'matching questions'. You will be given cells, tissues, and organs, matched with different functions and Dr. Frederick may ask you to recognize the ones incorrectly matched, or correctly matched. You can't afford to rely on guess work. You'd just have to know it to rack up the points on test day. :)

Chapter 36: Resource Acquisition & Transport In Vascular Plants
Key Points preparing for test 1.
- First, know your transportation routes. Short distance transport, long distance transport, and active transport.
- Secondly, know the key difference between solute potential and water potential. Then for water potential, understand when it is negative and when it is positive and in what organs (such as, xylem vs phloem: which has negative pressure and which has positive pressure?)
Water Potential key points by Dr. Frederick
1.Water moves in the direction from HIGHER water potential to LOWER water potential
2.Addition of solutes decreases water potential (higher solute concentration, lower water potential)
A.Water will move into higher solute concentration
B.Adding solutes- more negative #, lower water potential
3.Physical positive pressure increases water potential
4.Negative pressure decreases water potential
- Thirdly, stomata regulation. When the stomata opens does water flow in or out? Is K+ absorbed or lost? Is the cell turgid or flaccid?
- Lastly, don't forget the key differences/similarities between sugar and water transport.

Chapter 38: Angiosperm Reproduction and Biotechnology
Key Points.
- Know the steps leading to the development of male or female gametophyte.
- Pollination vs Double fertilization.
- Seed germination: Eudicots and Monocots
- Self fertilization and how plants prevent/inhibit self fertilization.
- Advantages and disadvantages of both sexual and asexual reproduction.

Chapter 41: Animal Nutrition
|
This easy going chapter is divided into 4 main sections.
Nutrition, Food Processing, Digestive systems, and Energy balance. It covers the whole spectrum of living things, with an edge to humans. For this S.I. session, we did a combination of chapters 40 & 41. Wrapping Up Chpt 41
So after completing all the questions found in the quizzes, you should be pretty solid for test 2 coming up. If not, then I would suggest you revisit the content material some more, access the SI FORUM for this class and pose questions, or email me or your professor so you do not all behind.
After all is said and done, here is an essay questioner to complete your understanding of chpt 41.
