In the first section of this page, you will write a daily summary of that day's class. For example in your chapter 2 blog, your first entry should be titled 9/3/10. You should then write a one or two paragraph summary of that day's lecture, outlining the major points. In the second section, you are required to add two items (link to a website, video, animation, student-created slide show, student-created PowerPoint presentation) and one journal article pertaining to a topic in this chapter. A one-paragraph summary must accompany each item describing the main idea and how it applies to the lecture topic. Please see the PBWorks help guide for assistance embedding video and other items directly in the page. I will also produce a how-to video on using tables to wrap text around items and other useful tips. Please see the syllabus for organization and grading details.

What is the surprise Dr. Weber has for us??? We briefly talked about prokaryotic cells, which are mainly bacteria cells and are small. Eukaryotic cells are bigger and have organelles and a nucleus. Ribosomes are in both types of cells, and they're important for protein synthesis. In eukaryotic cells, proteins are made in the rough ER, go to the Golgi and go to the plasma membrane if they're meant to. Sulfer-35 is used to to trace the path of radioactive proteins.

Yay iPod touches! There are 3 methods for protein trafficking: costranslatinal modification (rough ER), cytoplasmic (free ribosomes), post-translational (semi-autonomous). Signal Recognition Particle (SRP). If someone had a gene mutation where the first 40 amino acids are missing, the ER signal sequence is missing. Therefore, proteins stay in the cytoplasm and don't know where to go. It's cystic fibrosis and the cells are hypertonic.
