Chapter 4 Wrap Up & Starting Chapter 5

Today we wrapped up chapter 4 by looking at how ribosomes make proteins (click the picture to be taken to the animation we watched in class).

We moved onto chapter 5 and here's a list that D block came up with for all the things they learned (not bad for only one class)

Types of energy, Endergonic reactions, Exergonic reactions, Laws of thermodynamics, What ATP is, Role of ribosomes, Enzymes lower activation energy, Energy coupling, What a fever is, Dephosphorylizaton, How a protein is formed, Structure of ATP, What a mutation is, tRNA v. mRNA, Ribosomes have 2 subunits, What sickle cell anemia is.

Homework for all classes due tomorrow: Read sections 5.8 and 5.9. Research and find an example of an enzyme inhibitor. Write down your example and how it works, bring this to class.
A bonus point will be given if nobody in the class has the same inhibitor as you.
