Biology Unit 2 Module 2 1.1: Explain the uptake of ions by active transport in roots; * Emphasize the role of the endodermis. Most plants secure the water and minerals they need from their roots. The path taken is: soil -> roots -> stems -> leaves The minerals (e.g.‚ K+‚ Ca2+) travel dissolved in the water (often accompanied by various organic molecules supplied by root cells).Less than 1% of the water reaching the leaves is used in photosynthesis and plant growth. Most of it is

AP Chemistry Chapter 13 Outline Condensed phases: the liquid and solid phases; phases in which particles interact strongly. 13.1 Gas condensed when cooled and compressed. In the liquid state the forces of attraction among particles are great enough that disordered clustering occurs. It is hard to compress a liquid. Liquids diffuse into other liquids with which they are misicible. The natural diffusion rate is slow at normal temperatures. Cooling a liquid lowers its molecular kinetic energy

Lab: Inhibiting the Action of Catechol Oxidase By: Kimberly G. Introduction: In this lab‚ Mr. Greene ’s sixth period AP Biology class split into groups "to investigate inhibition of enzyme activity by specific chemicals called inhibitors" (1). Group three pondered this lab ’s inhibitor‚ phenylthiourea (PTU). Is it a competitive inhibitor? That is an inhibitor that literally "competes" with the substrate by mimicking it‚ and thus "wins" the position at the active site of the enzyme. The blocked
