2018 HS Bio Cary

Hi folks, Today we finished went into great detail on learning how we get proteins from RNA and how we get RNA from DNA.  In other words,  transcription and translation. 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 !

Hi folks, Today we wrapped up our biological molecules unit by reviewing what we've been covering the past few weeks and putting some finishing touches on a few of the concepts.  Next week we will get into Nucleic Acids which will lead us to DNA, RNA and eventually genetics. For homework this week please do questions 1 - 29 on page 62 in the text book.  Skip #24. Best, Jim Mueller (919) 907-3217

Hi folks, Here's a .pdf format of the food lab table.  

Hi folks, Today we took the time to do a lab where we used different reagents to find lipids, proteins and carbohydrates in a variety of foods. No recording for this week since the entire class was taken up with lab work.  I've included the table for your class below. Also, read this  website.   It is the write up for today's lab and has much background information.    Also, please answer the following questions. 1.  List the four biological molecules as well as their monomers. 2.  What are carbohydrates better known as? 3.  Where are 3 good places to find starches?  Where did you find starches in the lab? 4.  How do plants store glucose? 5.  How do animals store glucose? 6.  What kind of a biological molecule is cellulose?  What does it do? 7.  When it comes to energy storage which holds more energy, lipids or carbohydrates? 8.  What kinds of atoms can be in a protein molecule? 9.  How many different amino ...

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 biological molecule contain nitrogen? 4. Name all the biological molecules that contain carboxyl groups. 5. Name all the biological molecules that contain ...

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. Now, by the way, is a great time to begin your flash card collection. Draw each monomer and functional group on one side and the name of it on the other. Also, put the vocabulary words on your flash cards to study them as well. Homework for this week is to: Read pp. 51 - 61 Do questions 1-7 on pg. 54 Do questions 1-7 on pg. 60
