Biochemistry

==The chemistry of life. What do all organisms require for life? What are all organisms made of? How do these molecules play a role as to how a structure or organism functions? These are the types of questions we will study here. To start of our studies we will focus on properties of water and while it is necessary for life and also considered the universal solvent.== Schedule for Biochemistry ALL STUDENTS MUST KEEP THEIR WORK IN A BIO QUARTER 1 FOLDER!!! PLEASE CLICK TO SEE WHAT IS NEEDED.

Tuesday - Test on Biochem- Bring printed copy of review sheet.

 Day 19/20/21 Thursday-Monday Review for Test on Tuesday. You may use your review sheet only!!! Print a copy to bring to class. You will NOT be able to print on Tuesday before test. Monday- will be check biochem folder for completeness

Day 18 Wednesday -Finish Power point on Macromolecules

Day 17 Tuesday Finish lab

  Day 16 Monday- Lab Carbo/Proteins & Fats- This lab will help us determine what food have hidden fats, proteins and sugars. Please follow all directions as to the indicators we will use can stain and are caustic if injested.

media type="custom" key="4579370" align="right" width="100" height="100" = Day 15 Friday- Review Macromolecules with this powerpoint. Complete note sheet & graphic organizer at end. =

Day 12/14- Tuesday/Thursday Macronutrients- go to the Proteins and Lipids section of VisionLearning 's website. Read the article explaining the two and answer. Use the class time to complete any outstanding assignments. All Biochem assignments must be completed and submitted before Thursday's 10/22 test.

 Day 10 Friday/ Day 11 Monday Macro-nutrients- go to VisionLearning to answer the questions regarding carbohydrates. Complete. Don't forget to try to build each of the three classes of carbohydrates and take pics to put into your report. When building the molecules: Yellow= Hydrogen Red = Oxygen Black = Carbon

Due at the END OF MONDAY'S CLASS!!! USE YOUR TIME WISELY!!!!

  Day 9 (Thursday 10-8) pH lab to be completed today. Before you start the lab, the pre-lab must be approved by me. You can get your quia quiz grade by logging on.



Day 8 (Wed 10-7) Quiz go to [|quia] for biochemistry quiz!! You will need a password which I will give you in class. You may only take this once!! Once completed, go to the teacher's folder and drop in your bio folder B5-pH.

 Day 7 (Tuesday 10-6) Today we will review everything that we have been discussing for the last 6 class periods. We will discuss key terms and important characteristics of water to help us for our quiz tomorrow.

 <span style="color: #020d07; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"> Day 6 (Mon 10-5) Vocabulary will be assigned and due on Wednesday, with Quiz to follow on Thursday. This link provides a good review of the properties of water <span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;">All vocabulary WILL BE in your OWN WORDS!!!!

<span style="color: #020d07; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;">Day 5 (Friday) At this point we have spent a few days examining cohesion and adhesion, two very important characteristics of water. We also compared transpiration rates of various vegetables. Next, you will need to go to USGS website and take the water pre-quiz. Once completed, take a picture with Photo booth showing your results which will be inserted into this exercise. Use the USGS website on water to complete assignment. You will also need to use this site too to help you answer #6!

<span style="color: #020d07; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"> Day 3/4 (Wed/Thursday) We will look at the rate of transpiration (water loss) in various plants with conclusion to lab on Day 4. Submit using hand-in robot by Thursday 10/1.

<span style="color: #020d07; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #020d07; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"> Day 1&2 (Fri/Tues) To start our study we will look at the properties cohesion and adhesion with water and other object. The lab you can edit is on the network, however the copy is here. This will be submitted using the hand-in robot on Tuesday 9/29. Don't forget to take a picture of your graph using photo booth and place in your lab report. For more information on Cohesion, follow link. To learn about the type of bonds they form, review this link. BEFORE YOU SUBMIT, create a PDF file. To do this go to print. Lower left corner click pdf and save. <span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;">
