Category: Biology 12 Martin 2-4

Read p. 493-501 (DNA Transcription and Translation) and try out the “test yourself” questions beginning on p. 501.

Test 1 October – be sure to study Cell, Cell organelles/functions, Biological Molecules and DNA replication (p. 490-493 in text and notes up to and including last class).

Continue reading Chapters 2 and 24 (DNA) and focus on DNA replication, transcription and translation.  We will be covering these topics next week.

Reminder of the test on Cell and Biological Molecules on 2 October.

Finish reading biological molecules (Ch. 2) and begin reading Ch. 24 on DNA Replication, etc.

Answer the question given in class:  Explain how structure is related to function in nucleic acids.

Please see the online resources (blog post) and the resources available on the moodle site.

Find one example of each of the following, giving the proper name (eg. Hemoglobin, glucose, cholesterol, etc), structure (draw a diagram) and the function in cells/living things:  Carbohydrate, lipid, protein.

Be sure to review the online notes (see my earlier blog post for the link) on nucleic acids.

Read p. 31 + on Biological Molecules and make note of the key points for the 4 classes:  Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, and Nucleic Acids.  Also note the key points relating to synthesis and hydrolysis reactions.
