About

What will you get out of this session:

In this session, we’ll tackle every major concept from AP Biology Unit 2, giving you a solid understanding of the intricacies of cells, their structures, and functions. After covering the big-picture ideas, we’ll break each down into smaller, digestible pieces to deepen our conceptual understanding. By the end, we’ll go over a set of Practice Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) and Free Response Questions (FRQs) to test your knowledge and help solidify your grasp of the material.

Important Reminder:

This session is interactive and dynamic, so please stay engaged! Open your microphone, ask questions, and discuss ideas with your peers. The more we communicate, the more successful this session will be for everyone!

Get ready for an engaging, informative, and hands-on review of AP Biology Unit 2 – let's dive into the amazing world of cells!

Hi, I’m Jiarui! 👋 I’m a senior from Upstate NY who’s really into math and science. I also love exploring new interests outside of school. You’ll usually find me playing tennis or soccer, spending time with friends, or experimenting in the kitchen as I learn how to cook. I enjoy tutoring and sharing what I’ve learned just as much as I enjoy picking up new things myself. Excited to be part of this community and connect with more people who love learning too! 🚀

Learning Objectives:

  • Cell Organelles and Their Functions: Explore the structure and roles of key organelles and how they contribute to cellular processes.

  • Endosymbiosis Hypothesis: Understand the theory that explains the origin of certain organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts, and their relationship with prokaryotic cells.

  • Membrane Structure and Transport: Learn about the structure of the plasma membrane, what can and cannot cross it, and the mechanisms of passive and active transport, including water potential and osmolarity.

  • Compartmentalization and Surface Area: Examine the advantages of compartmentalization within cells and how surface area-to-volume ratio affects cellular efficiency and function.
