Post your answers here for the cumulative practice in Unit 3, and we will discuss the answers as preparation for your end of unit 3 test. (Pages 148 - 156 in the Unit 3 Workbook) Here is the lab to help you answer the questions for page 144 - 146: (Task 3.R.11) https://digitalnomadacademy.org/labs/photosynthesis-respiration/

Unit 4: Cell Communication and Cell Cycle is uploaded and ready in the Classroom! 🧬 You’ll find: ✅ Video lessons ✅ Student workbook with MCQ and FRQ practice ✅ Reading guide to support your learning Explore how cells communicate, respond to signals and regulate cell division—and what happens when those controls fail. 🧪 We’re also building interactive AP Biology labs! The first simulations explore the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle, helping you follow the processes and connect them to your learning. 👉 Try the free interactive labs here These are still being developed, and more are on the way. Give them a try and comment below with your feedback—or tell me which topic you’d like an interactive lab for next! 💬

I’m currently on Chapter 1.5.1, learning about the phospholipid bilayer. I understand that the membrane is selectively permeable, but I’m curious: if the lipid bilayer is constantly moving and its phospholipids can shift around, how does the cell maintain precise control over what enters and exits? Does membrane fluidity ever compromise its selective permeability, especially when temperature changes?

How do cells capture and use the energy they need to keep life going? In this unit, we’ll explore the reactions powering everything from growing leaves to working muscles! 🌱💪 Which part are you most interested in learning about? 🧩 A. Enzymes — How do they speed up chemical reactions? ⚡ B. ATP & energy — How does ATP help power cellular processes? ☀️ C. Photosynthesis — How do plants capture light energy to build sugars? 🔥 D. Cellular respiration — How do cells transfer energy from food into ATP? Vote below, then tell us why you chose that topic in the comments! You can also share a question you hope Unit 3 will answer. 👇
