Here is a great animation on the process of protein synthesis:

This is a great site for practice questions on the midterm topics.

We are focusing on Units 1,2,4,6,7 and 8. There are some topics within 4,6,7,and 8 that we haven't done, so don't be too discouraged if you don't get them all. Take the time to check what you remember and don't remember, and plan to use the next few days to review for the midterm.

HW Solutions - Jan. 4 2010

Honors:p. 237-238 – 14, 22, 23

p. 239 – 1 – 9, skip 2

14. 6O2 + C6H12O6 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy, or in words, oxygen + glucose combine to form carbon dioxide + water + energy.

19. Both fermentation and cellular respiration break down glucose and release energy stored within its bonds. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and produces substantially more ATP than fermentation, which produces only 2 net ATP per glucose molecule.

23. Missing part #1 is carbon dioxide and water, since they are the inputs to photosynthesis. Missing part #2 is the process of cellular respiration.

Answers on p. 239:
1. B
2. E (some of you told me you did this anyway - good work!)
3. A
4. C
5. C
6. D
7. D
8. C
9. C

Honors Break Assignment - Get it here!

In case you were unable to get a copy in class (or if you have lost your copy), have no fear - your break assignment is below.

PDF format and DOC format.

In case you just need to know what to do with the word list:

1. Choose any 30 of the words above and write out their definitions.
2. Create 6 pairs of words that are somehow related for use in a compare/contrast question. (Example: active transport vs. passive transport.) Compare and contrast each pair, and write a paragraph response.
3. Find 10 of these words that can best be described by a diagram. (For example, the nucleus of a cell, or the active site of an enzyme.) For each of these words, make a diagram that explains the meaning of the word.
4. Write out 5 chemical equations we have used thus far in the class. Write down the name of the reaction, the reactants and products, and in what biological process the reaction is found.

Call/email/text if you have questions!

Photosynthesis Diagrams!

As promised, here are the diagrams drawn by the 4th period class. Shout out to Guiomar, Shakeema, and Amber-Lee!
