Honors Bio Class 8

Today in class we had a test review on what would be covered on the test. We reviewed water and all its different components, such as adhesion cohesion and hydrogen bonds. We also discussed some basic chemistry and how to solve for valence electrons using only the atomic number (only two electrons in the first shell). Next we went over macromolecules and their properties: Polymers, monosachrides, amino acids, proteins, hydrolysis, and polymerization. DNA and RNA were also included and we were required to know how they differ. After the review we had a short quiz on what we had discussed.
