BioChemistry Unit

Carbs, Fats, and Proteins....Oh My!!!

We are beginning our Biochemistry Unit.  This is going to be one of the fundamental units for this course.  It is very important to learn the structures and functions of these macromolecules, for this will be the basis of the Cellular Processes unit which is to follow.  The date in parenthesis is the date I plan to talk about these molecules.  The biozones are Page : Questions.
