Overview of Cells and Cell Division
Chapter 1 discussed the different types of cells; Prokaryote and Eukaryote cells, the different structures and functions within the cell, and the different organelles found in animal and plant cells. I was required to label and describe the function of a Eukaryote/Prokaryote cell in our chapter 1 test which is not listed below.
Chapter 4 described how the cell membrane controls the exchange of materials, such as nutrients and waste products. I was required to know the structure and features of a fluid mosaic, which were also tested on my chapter 4 test; as seen below. Another very important topic learned was pressure potential and osmosis, which is how water and salt move within the cell (hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic). My classmates and I were also expected to know and understand a brief overview of gaseous exchange in mammalian lungs, and the uptake of ions in plant's roots.
Chapter 6 discussed the process of cell division. There are two different processes of cell division, mitosis and meiosis. I was taught and tested on the different stages of both divisions, such as interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. This chapter taught me about cancer and how it develops. In another test, that is not pictured below, I chose a partner and we were assigned a cancer to research, create a powerpoint, and present our information in front of the class. Other groups also presented a different form of cancer to the class. My teacher would give us a test at the conclusion of the presentations to test our knowledge of the various cancers that affect the humans.

Chapter 1: Cell Membranes and Transport Vocabulary Quiz
On this quiz, which tested the cell's functions, I scored a 90%.
Chapter 4: Cell Membranes and Transport Vocabulary Quiz
I scored a 100% on this quiz, which tested the vocabulary of the cell membrane and the cell's transport system.
Chapter 4 Test (First Page)
On this test I scored an 85%. The picture to the left is the first page of the test and the second page is listed directly below this caption. During this test, I was required to draw and describe a fluid mosaic membrane, define homeostasis and its role in a cell, describe how the immune system responds to a fever, label a diagram, and indicate the flow of water movement in a high/low solute and water concentration. I lost twenty points due to not clarifying the role of homeostasis in a cell and not elaborating enough on how the immune system responds to a fever; I received five points though for extra credit.

Chapter 6: Nuclear DivisionVocabulary Quiz
On this quiz I scored a 100%.
