10/27 Biology update and homework due 11/4
Hi folks,
Today we moved on from protein synthesis to cells. We are slowly getting bigger as time goes on. We will get deeper into cells and cell structure next week. We also spent some time talking about seven characteristics all living things share.
Be sure to feel good about your three different cell drawings and the differences between prokaryotic, eukaryotic, plant and animal cells.
Homework due next week:
Read pages 68 - 76 in the text book.
Do questions 1 - 5 on page 76
Do questions 5 - 12 on page 92

10/21 Biology Class and homework due 10/28
Hi folks,
Today we finished off our study of the four biological molecules and we have moved into looking at how DNA codes for proteins.
Homework for this week is to:
Read pgs. 193-210
Do Chapter Review Questions on page 212 #'s 1-22
Do Standard Test Prep questions on page 213 #'s 1-8
Study the steps in transcription and translation…they will be tested…you have been warned!

10/14 Biology Update and homework due 10/21
Hi folks,
Today we spent time looking and some of the more detailed aspects of proteins. Next week we will finish off our macromolecule unit as we discuss nucleic acids.
Homework for this week is to take a look at this website and do the activity. We are going to veer off of the instructions on the site, however, in that instead of different groups looking at different macromolecules, I'd like you to answer the questions for all four of the macromolecules. Feel free to use the suggested web-sites, your notes, the book and whatever other resources you'd like to use.
Also, if you haven't already, MAKE THOSE FLASHCARDS!!!!!

10/7 Biology update and homework due 10/14
Hi folks,
Today we got a bit more into the "nitty-gritty" of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Next week we will do a bit more with proteins and discuss nucleic acids. This will lead us into our next block, transcription and translation of DNA.
For homework next week:
Using your new knowledge, see if you can find 3 things that would be a good representative of something containing lipids, something containing nucleic acids, something containing proteins and something containing carbohydrates. 3 things for each molecule so 12 things all together. These need to be things you can see/touch around you. (Hint…look in your fridge… :) )
Also, fill out the following set of questions.
1. Which biological molecule stores energy?
2. Which biological molecule is the main source of energy?
3. Which 2 biological molecules contain nitrogen?
4. Name all the biological molecules that contain carboxyl groups.
5. Name all the biological molecules that contain hydroxyl (if a hydroxyl is in a carboxyl, it's just a carboxyl).
6. Which two biological molecules are associated with providing structure for animals and plants?
7. Which biological molecule is vital for genetic information?
8. Which biological molecule would be most associated with eggs?
9. Which biological molecule would be most associated with vegetable oil?
10. Which biological molecule is associate with cell membranes?
11. Which biological molecule consists of a sugar and an phosphate group?
12. Which type of biological molecule is a triglyceride?
13. What kind of a biological molecule is insulin?
14. What kind of a biological molecule is starch?
15. What kind of a biological molecules are fatty acids associated with?
16. What are the 3 elements all life is made from?
17. What are the monomers of carbohydrates called?
18. What are the monomers of proteins called?
19. What are the two types of nucleic acids?
20. What kind of a biological molecule is a steroid?
21. If I'm talking about a polypeptide, what kind of biological molecule am I talking about?
