If you can, bring some sort of internet connectable device to class today.
See you all soon!

11/8 Biology Recording - Intro to Cells
Much of today was lab work so we covered only a small amount of material.

11/8 Bio update and homework due 11/15
Hi folks,
This week we spent a bit of time doing a small lab. Using simple materials such as rubbing alcohol, dish soap and gatorade we were able to actually see our very own DNA. It's pretty amazing to think that those teeny tiny little threads contain all the information that makes us us and makes us work. We also spent some time reviewing proteins synthesis and beginning our unit on cells. Next week we will get quite a bit deeper into cells and cell structure.
For homework this week, let's get creative!

11/1 Biology update and homework due 11/8
Hi folks,
Today we went into great detail learning how we get proteins from RNA and how we get RNA from DNA. In other words, protein synthesis.
Homework for this week is to:
Be sure to take all the definitions we started class with today and put them into your flash cards. They will all be on upcoming quizzes in one form or another. Memorize how the DNA & RNA bases pair as well.
Here's the list of terms from today's lecture.
Protein Synthesis
Transcription
Translation
DNA
RNA
mRNA
tRNA
Codon
RNA Polymerase
Ribosome
rRNA
Adenine pairs with Thymine. Guanine pairs with Cytosine.
In RNA Thymine is replace with Uracil.
Also:
Read pgs. 193-210
Do Chapter Review Questions on page 212 #'s 1 - 3, 9 - 14, 18 - 22 (Sorry for jumping around on this but I'm trying to skip some of the more "out in left field" questions. I'm sure you won't mind. :) )
Do Standard Test Prep questions on page 213 #'s 1-8
Study the steps in transcription and translation that I put on the board today They will be tested. You have been warned! :)
