• For today -- use Chapter 2.3 (pg. 52) in your book to accomplish the following:
  1. Finish your macromolecules review chart and all 16 questions - including the section on lipids (we began this in class together on 11/07)
  2. ACCURATELY complete the four coloring sheets -- carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids.
     • Use your book to help with this as needed!!
     • Chapter 2.3 (pg. 52) has the basics;
     • Ch. 8 has the cell membrane (pg. 256);
     • Ch. 14.1 & 14.2 (pg. 440) has more info regarding nucleic acids and proteins.
  3. Once this work is finished, you may move on. Carefully read the introduction to Chapter 8 (pg. 241) paying close attention to the types of cells, organelles, and macromolecules involved in David's case. Make a list of these things after you have completed the reading. Then move on to Ch. 8.1.
