G'day,
I have a student whom is sitting her second outcome for Biology 3 and 4, and this has to do with signal transduction, neurotransmission, apoptosis, necrosis, and signalling molecules.
I am curious, since she doesn't know herself, whether this could be tested as some form of experiment, or whether this is usually a written test? My student already had an experiment for her first outcome.
The description of the "Biological Understanding and Application" is:
- Use your understanding of theory to apply to different scenarios (would suggest perhaps a text describing a situation, such as an insult to homeostasis, and predict response e.g. hormone, and how signal transduction pathway works)
- interpret, transpose, and communicate information and ideas effectively (suggests written responses to questions, but also could be write up for an experiment)
- use scientific terminology and conventions properly (which is a given for biology, whether in an exam or writing a report)
- analyse and interpret data (would suggest looking at a glucose response curve, or perhaps a nerve impulse curve)
Thanks for the help in advance,
Jim
