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!

10/19 Biology update and homework due 10/26
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 .pdf.

10/12 Biology update and homework due 10/19
Hi folks,
Today we took a general outline view of the four biological molecules. We looked at some examples, their basic purposes and different subcategories for each molecule. Next week we will get into more of the details of each molecule.
Homework for this week is to:
Read pp. 51 - 61
Do questions 1-7 on pg. 54
Do questions 1-7 on pg. 60

10/5 Biology update and homework due 10/12
Hi folks,
Today we've begun our look into the four key biological molecules; carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and nucleic acids. Today, was an overview of the topic but next week we will look at these in far more detail.
Now, is a great time to begin your flash card collection. I would highly recommend creating flash cards for the four main molecules and the five different functional groups we've discussed today.
Homework for this week is to answer the following questions.
1. What is a monomer?
2. Draw a monomer of a carbohydrate.
3. Draw a monomer of a lipid.
4. Draw a monomer of a nucleic acid.
5. Draw a monomer of an amino acid.
6. What does the "R" represent in your diagrams?
7. Draw the carboxyl functional group.
8. Draw the phosphate functional group.
9. Draw the aldehyde functional group.
10. Draw the hydroxyl functional group.
11. Draw the ketone functional group.
12. Which biological molecules have the carboxyl group in them? (There may be one or more than one.)
13. Which biological molecules have the aldehyde group in them? (There may be one or more than one.)
14. Which biological molecules have the phosphate group in them? (There may be one or more than one.)
15. Which biological molecules have the hydroxyl group in them? (There may be one or more than one.)
16. What do nucleic acids and carbohydrates have in common?
