Hi AP Bio Students!
Here is the blog to help you prepare for the exam on Human Physiology. I hope that you will use this as an area to ask questions of myself and each other. I will check the blog daily to stay in touch over the Easter Vacation. After you set up your profile, e-mail me your screen name and your password (mutley@cvcs.org). If you forget your password, I can e-mail it to you so that you can keep the same screen name. It will also allow me to know who you are. I would also prefer that you keep your screen names secret from each other. When others don't know who you are, that leaves you more open to responding freely. God bless you, I pray that you enjoy the Easter holiday and I will see you soon!
Blessings!
Mrs. Utley
P.S. This counts as exam preparation points. :)
P.S2 - Hi Biology Students...This post is for AP only...keep an eye out for a new post for you! Blessings!

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Hi Students,
So far this semester, we have learned about ATP and how it is created during both Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis. In both plants and animals, it is created by a similiar process. What is the name of that process? What is the mechanism of its creation? In other words, how is it made in both plant and animal cells? What are the organelles involved? What are the membranes within those organelles? Why are are they important? (Honors students, not that you must list them all here, but you should know the names of the proteins involved and their location.) The following question is for all students; Once ATP is made, how it is used in both plant and animal cells?
By answering as much as you can, you will help yourself prepare for the Photosynthesis exam as well as your classmates. So, tackle these questions together! Have fun!

Talking about Biology
Hi Students!!!
I have learned about yet another tool to help you develop a good understanding of Biology! Whoo Hoo!! From time to time, I am going to post a question or statement to which you are required to respond. My goal is to get you talking about biology in an effort to deepen your understanding. You will be required to answer my questions in addition to responding to the posts of your classmates. There are of course ground rules that must be followed.
1. Your posts must be on topic.
2. Everyone must be polite and kind to each other.
So, the first question: What is your experience with blogging? What do you hope to accomplish with this added dimension to our class? And now for a biology question...In our last unit on cellular respiration, you learned how mitochondria produce ATP. Why is this molecule so important?
