Finally, here is the meiosis video series divided into 2 videos. Uploading these videos nearly destroyed my sanity.

After much pain, I’ve managed to get this video on the internet…

While I called this a quiz, you should think of it like a TEST, because it will be very much the same format and won’t be something you can just sail through. I realized that I could write it in 15 minutes, and since I’m obviously familiar with the material already, I think it will probably take you 20-25 minutes to write it. So study hard!

I fixed a typo in the blood type notes, so make sure you download the newest version (Oct. 4). “A-protein” is the same thing as “Antigen A” and “B-protein” is the same thing as “Antigen B”.

Here is the respiration video that we watched in class

hey all, some of you were wondering what the different subunits were for proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. PLATO might have been a bit confusing on this point, so here are the answers:

The subunits of proteins are amino acids (so that means that proteins are made up of amino acids). You might have notes from PLATO about amino groups and carboxyl groups… don’t worry about these. They are what amino acids consist of, so they are like sub-subunits of proteins if that makes any sense.

The subunits of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, so again this just means that carbohydrates are made up of monosaccharides.

Then for lipids, there are two subunits: a glycerol backbone, and fatty acids.

Good luck studying!
