Nucleic Acids and DNANucleic acids are very long organic molecules that contain the instructions that cells need to carry out all the functions of life. Your assignment is to watch the flipped video and answer the last question within your summary section of the Cornell notes you take on the subject.

Chemical Compounds in the Cell
Today we learned about what a compound is and then went into organic and inorganic compounds. Remember that an inorganic compound is one that contains carbon. If the element does not contain carbon it has to be inorganic. Other parts that we covered were enzymes, lipids, and carbohydrates and how these aid and power the cell. This is all very complex so please ask many questions, and don't forget to download the PowerPoint for your notes.

Inside the Cell
Today we began learning more about how the inside of a cell operates. The cell operates much like a factory and today we began with the mitochondrion and how it is the cells "powerhouse." We also took detailed Cornell notes on how the mitochondrion uses the process of respiration to obtain energy from glucose. The main idea is this: During respiration, cells break down simple food molecules such as sugar and release the energy they contain. This sugar (glucose) is broken down into smaller molecules that are then combined with oxygen, in the mitochondria, to produce water and carbon dioxide.
Note: Be prepared to build a classroom sized cell in the class beginning Monday. |
