November 22 Biology Notes

Review these notes on enzymes

ENZYMES BIOLOGY 12

See this presentation 
And do this reading

Metabolism is the sum total of biochemical reactions in an organism it involves building things, anabolism , and breaking stuff down, catabolism.

Students will prepare their own summary consisting of two pages which summarize all key words in a cartoon of whatever is covered today

Next have students work through these worksheets
Enzyme worksheet 1

Try this  self grading practice quiz to help you prep for the test and email me for any questions.  We will go over all worksheet questions prior to test next week.

Update: test postponed :What's on the test? Here's a detailed breakdown of what to study, what to expect

test is postponed to November 17, due to we day and also I'm away with the flu, infortunately.  Hoping to be back fri but we will see.
There will be 50 questions, multiple choice, short answer, and long answer.  I'm hoping your TOC will be able to review your homework and let you know if you got it right.  If not, this will wait til I get back. 

MULTIPLE CHOICE:
1. Remember the Daily questions?  Review these questions because you may see them again on the test. 


2.  There will be multiple choice questions to see if you know the following Handouts with illustrations.  Can you tell the difference between...
     a. . BONDS in biology - Can you identify ionic, covalent, polar covalent, nonpolar covalent,
      b.  Name 7 properies of water,     
      c.  Organic molecules always contains CHO, Functional Groups (recognize all functional groups),
     
      d.   Biological Molecules, monomers and polymers. know all the examples and definitions
     e.  Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides, Disaccharides and Polysaccharides
     f.  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!!!  Know how to recognize triglyceride fats from looking at a picture and whether a fatty acid is CIS or TRANS


LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS
     g.  DNA is made of nucleotide letters, what are they? 
      DNA structure:
         Be prepared to draw the full ladder structure of DNA from the handout given out
     h. write the correct steps of DNA Replication.
     i .  bonus mark.  Can you tell the difference between purine and pyrimidine?

2.  Review worksheets.  Be very familiar with all the answers of the  questions on the following worksheets:  They contain details from the illustrations above. 
      Fats,Carbohydrates will be the main focus of the test but I will include page one and two only from  Nucleic acids. For the key, see the keywords and illustrations in
     the Biomolecule Summary Notes.  see note on fats above.  Note that your long answer questions will be taken directly from questions from these handouts.  Use them as a review for the test.  Note that my long anwer test questions will be *REALLY SIMILAR TO THESE REVIEW WORKSHEETS*.

QUESTIONS ON OUR LABS

     especially with soap.
      d.   You attended the Don Rix Distinguished Lecture, describe a few of the points you picked up during this lecture

REVIEW SONGS:
     a. DNA Replication Song  This ought to correspond with the DNA replication notes.
     b.  Water In and Water Out LYRICS from section 1a. above. sung to "Waterloo"
