Weekend post ---
Comment if there's anything missing
ETA: If you ~mysteriously lost~ your Bio questions handout, I've posted the questions here.
RAMAYANA PROPS MEETING
- At Nico's house. We discussed this during Homeroom. If you have further questions contact Nico or Gan personally, because to be honest I shouldn't be posting directions to Nico's house, etc. on the Internet.
English
- ESSAY DUE NEXT WEDNESDAY.
Using the Buddhist idea of fatalism, cite an instance when you were able to free yourself from pain and frustration by accepting the consequences of an unfortunate event. Discuss the incident, what you did to change it, and what made you accept the unchangeable.
Specifications: minimum 400 words, 1.5 spacing, font size 12, font Calibri/Arial/Times New Roman

Bio
- Answer the questions on the handout in a small blue filler:
1.) What is the importance of the Hierarchy of Biological Organization in the understanding of biological concepts?
2.) How do you determine if a characteristic is an emergent property?
3.) Why do we need to resolve the problem of the surface area to volume ratio? Give some solutions to this problem.
4.) What is the importance of multicellularity?
5.) What are the different steps in processing food?
6.) What is the difference between intracellular and extracellular digestion?
7.) Draw a diagram that will show where the digestion of different biomolecules will start.
8.) Why is there a need to use bulk flow in moving substances across a plant?
9.) Why is there a need to use bulk transport in moving substances across a plant?
10.) What is the importance of the presence of both symplastic route and apoplastic route in plants?
11.) How does the casparian strip help in the formation of root pressure in plants?
12.) How does root pressure eliminate embolism in vessel elements in plants?
13.) What is the role of xylem in the translocation of substances from source to sink?
14.) Differentiate the following systems: gastrovascular system, water vascular system, open circulatory system and closed circulatory system.
15.) What is the role of the interstitial fluid in the transfer of substances across different cells in an organism?

Math
- Handout scans posted on the FB group. We need to answer the 2nd page.
- Edit: Also posted here in case you can't read the one in FB.

STR
- Research brief 2 draft due next Tuesday (July 26)
- The actual research brief 2 + notecards + printed/photocopied sources due Thursday (July 28)
- Remember to get your parents to sign your permit for the STR outing (:
Chemistry
- LT3 next week on balancing equations! You still need to remember nomenclature.
- Make Lab Report from our experiment last week. It can be handwritten/typewritten. Scan of the handout is on the Cs FB group.
