Enzymes

HW tonight will be to read from the textbook.  The link to download the textbook is in a Google Drive word document called "Untitled Document."  First make sure you have iBooks on your iPad, then click on the link to download the text.  It could take several minutes.

Once you have the book, read Ch 2 Lesson 4 on Enzymes (its not long) on enzymes.  Pay attention to how the shape of an enzyme is essential to its function.  Recall how the 3D shape of an enzyme is determined.

Updated- the reading above is important to do- definitely before the biochem quiz (end of next week).  But your primary focus tonight should be lab prep.  You should have

• a list of all the materials you need
• list of procedures
• a data table or some other place to record results
• and of course, a hypothesis (what will you vary?  what results do you predict?  WHY is the variable affecting the enzyme function?)

Don't forget- today (Thursday) is the LAST DAY I am checking your folders for Q1 homework.  If its not in today its a zero forever!

Link to enzyme video.  There are many others as well.
