BIOLOGY CALENDAR

SEMESTER 1, WEEK 4 TOPIC: CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY

CA State Standards Covered:

  • Students know most macromolecules (polysaccharides, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids) in cells and organisms are synthesized from a small collection of simple precursors.
  • Students know that living things are made of molecules consisting of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur.
  • Students know that living organisms have different kinds of molecules including small ones, such as water and salt, and very large ones, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins and DNA.
  • Students know proteins can differ from one another in the number and sequence of amino acids.

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 19LATE START DAY

Introduction to Biochemistry Notes Important Terms: Element, Periodic Table, Atom, People – (Democritus, Bohr, Mendeleev, Moseley), Atomic Mass, Atomic Number, location of metals, location of nonmetals, location of metalloids, subatomic particles, figuring out how many subatomic particles each element has (1-18), element symbols – memorize only the list that was posted in class, group/family, period, # of natural elements, locations of most reactive elements and most unreactive elements, molecule, compound, subscript, coefficient, ion, types of bonds, counting atoms in compounds/molecules

** There is a periodic table on the back inside cover of your textbook in addition to the one I gave you in class. You need to understand the trends in the table but not memorize it. Memorize only the approximately dozen symbols of common elements in living things that I gave you in my PowerPoint presentation which is online under Biochemistry PowerPoints and Files.
