Happy new year! Welcome back, everyone.

Please review the evolution notes and chapters 13 and 14 (covered before the break).

Happy new year! Welcome back, everyone.

Please be sure that you can define the following terms (may be a brief quiz next day):

DNA, antiparallel, base pair, complementary, DNA polymerase, DNA replication, lagging strand, leading strand, replication origin, replication fork.

Study for enzymes and ATP/cellular respiration test (chapters 6 and 7): Thursday or Friday, depending on the block.

Review chapters, notes, problem sets we worked on and for which answers were provided.

Study for the classification test (next week, Monday and Tuesday, depending on the block): chapter 15 and notes, dichotomous keys, and problems we worked on together.

Read chapter 13 and complete sections A – E on the evolution handout (A-C can be completed with the help of section 13-4).

Watch the Bozeman videos playlist on evolution.

Study for test (next Thursday/Friday) on enzymes and cellular respiration.

Read section 13-4 in the text and use the information to complete parts A – C on the handout (evolution). Begin reading chapter 13 (evolution).

Study for classification test next Thursday/Friday (depending on the block).

 

Please watch the video Bozeman Natural Selection (5 minutes)

Finish reading chapter 15 (classification) and the matching questions on taxonomy.

Please complete the anaerobic respiration questions:

1. Write a summary equation for cell respiration.
2. What are the stages (phases) of aerobic respiration?
3. What are the major differences between aerobic respiration and fermentation?
4. What is the significance of NAD+ in fermentation and cell respiration?
5. Why do organisms undergo fermentation in the absence of oxygen?
6. Write a summary equation for photosynthesis. How does it compare to that of cellular respiration?

Will be collected next class.
