Detailed Checklist for your Biomolecules test, 65 marks. Updated

1.  Know your illustration handouts: There will be 50 questions, multiple choice, short answer, or matching on these  booklets of drawing handouts.

     a. Examples of Biomolecules, Polymers are made of monomers, hydrolosysis and dehdydration
         synthesis, Water in, Water out, Biology Karaoke lyrics

     b. BONDS in biology - ionic, covalent, polar covalent, nonpolar covalent,
          name 7 properies of water,    
         Organic always contains CHO, Functional Groups (recognize all functional groups,
         Writing organic chemistry, drawing a glucose
         molecule

     c.  Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides, Disaccharides and Polysaccharides

     d.  Fat Facts: Be prepared to draw all parts of this illustrated booklet!  NOTE THAT THE DEFINITION OF SATURATED AND UNSATURATED TRIGLYCERIDES DIFFER FROM THE RAYCROFT NOTES.  Use the fact facts sheet as the definitive answer!!!

     e.  DNA is made of nucleotide letters, DNA structure:
         Be prepared to draw the ladder structure of DNA

2.  Review worksheets.  Be very familiar with all the answers of the  questions on the following worksheets:  They contain details from the illustrations above. The same 50 questions  mentioned above will be referencing these handouts.
      Fats,Carbohydrates and Nucleic acids. For the key, see the keywords and illustrations in
     the Biomolecule Summary Notes.  see note on fats above.
3.  In the Text be able to draw p. 54 and 55.
4.  Know the story of Watson Crick and Franklin.  There will be two questions on the discovery of DNA.
5.  There will be 15 marks on the labs and demos we did: You must choose ONLY three of the following four topics to write a paragraph about in detail
      a.  The Dry ice lab:  Summarize your observations during this lab.  What happens when you add solid carbon dioxide to water?  What acid is formed when Carbon dioxide is added to water?  
      b.  Drinking Milk: Lactose free milk is sweeter than regular milk.  Explain this demo in detail. 
      c.   Dropping food colouring in milk, and then adding soap, creates beautiful designs. 
     Describe what happens and explain how using your knowledge of polar and nonpolar interactions, 
     especially with soap.
      d.   You attended the Don Rix Distinguished Lecture or the DNA Fingerprint Lab.  
            Write a little summary of what you learned from these experiences.  I understand the science
      involved is university level thus I only need a description of your highlights of what you gathered 
      from these experiences rather than the university level vocab words. 
       e.  During the dry ice lab, an equation was written.  This equation was an equilibrium equation describing the carbonic acid buffer.  Describe how this equilibrium equation helps the body maintain homeostasis. 
6.  REVIEW SONGS: Know the lyrics of your songs especially a. and b.  and know what c. and d. are about.    
     a. DNA Replication Song
     b.  Water In and Water Out LYRICS from section 1a. above. sung to "Waterloo"
     c.   Take me to the Liver (a song about high density lipoprotein and their role to move 
          cholesterol back to the liver.) lyrics and mp3
