Chapter 3

Biological Chemistry: Variations on Four Themes

-There are 4 main classes of organic compounds. What are they, and what do they do?

Chapter 3

Name and give the basic explanation of what all four protein structures specifically look at.

Chapter 2

In chapter 2 one thing we learned about was the importance of water in the world and in living and nonliving systems. Seeing that it's important what are the six properties of water?

Biology 2 Test Question: Chapter 1

What is a cell, and how is it used in the fundamental concepts of biology?

Cell Transport Systems

We are going to be starting Chapter 4. It is about the cell membrane and how cells move materials in and out. Discuss some of the different transport systems including diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis. Also, retakes will be available on the amino acid quiz on Tuesday, and there will be a Unit 1 Exam on Wednesday, so you should start preparing for that. If you would like, you may start a posting that asks questions, and use the blog as a tool to communicate with your classmates on topics that you are having problems with.

Do a little research!

What are the differences between high density and low density lipoproteins? Also, what are some of the other uses for lipids in the human body? How are carbohydrates used by the human body?

Biochemistry

Why is it so important to know about the chemistry of macromolecules when we are going to discuss cellular biology? Also, how are lipids different from carbohydrates in the way they are structurally designed?
