BIOLOGY CALENDAR
SEMESTER 1 WEEK 16
TOPICS: BIOCHEMISTRY
CA State Standards Covered This Week:

Students know most macromolecules (polysaccharides, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids) in cells and organisms
are synthesized from a small collection of simple precursors.

Students know proteins can differ from one another in the number and sequence of amino acids.
*** There is a review sheet under Miscellaneous Files (NOT LINKS) for the Final Exam
It looks like this: COLLEGE-PREP BIOLOGY FALL FINAL EXAM REVIEW.doc The final exam is usually
approximately 15% of the grade (150-175 scantron questions).
