Week of 10/19/15

Biology- Our goal for the week is to finish our topic of organic Chem so we are ready for our Test early next week. Mondays lecture will cover proteins and nucleic the last of the 4 organic groups. Tuesday we will start with a quiz. Following the quiz we will build on proteins with a lecture focused on enzymes and how they serve as biological catalysts. Wednesday a Lab is planned to demonstrate enzyme action it takes 24 hours so we will read results and work on analysis question Thursday. Friday Lab is due and we will complete our enzyme discussion focused on factors that control rate of enzyme reactions. AP Biology- Photosynthesis is our main focus for the week that is loaded with fun filled action packed lectures! Hurray!!! Monday Lecture the light RXN. Followed by a reinforcement ws. Tuesday the Calvin Cycle with time to check Mondays ws. Wednesday Comparison of C3/C4 plants along with cyclic and non cyclic. If time allows we will review. Lab on Rf is Due. Thursday 60 pt Quiz on photosynthesis. Followed by intro to respiration which is our next topic. At least 2 labs next week.
