Bioenergetics introduction

I hope you guys all enjoyed your Thanksgiving break.  Only 16 more school days until Christmas!!!!   Last week we took our cell membrane/ cell transport exam on Monday and did some extra credit on tuesday with some scientific readings on the myth of tryptophan.  This week we start into a new chapter on bioenergetics.  These are the following Keystone Exam Anchors we will be focusing on for the next couple weeks.

Today's daily questions served as a review of what you have learned about bioenergetics throughout previous years.  We will be moving into MUCH more detail than you learned before, but most of you were able to answer almost all of these based on previous knowledge!
