This is a 12-point assignment. The objective of this assignment is to spend hours thinking and understanding the chemistry water and carbon properties biological molecules organelle function and plasma membrane structure and physiology.Remember there are many more questions that can be asked of you than just these 24 questions.Think about the question and after you have answered think about all the different ways that I could ask the same question and think about all the other parts. For example if I ask about dehydration synthesis only dont stop there. Youll want to study the other process as well- hydrolysis.The more time you spend looking at these concepts the more comprehension youll achieve. This assignment can act as a study tool and should add towards your overall study time for Unit 1.
