Monday
Be ready to present on the next class meeting day BOP.
- Your task today is to work collaboratively in your assigned groups to develop a presentation that demonstrates your understanding of the key concepts related to metabolism, energy, and enzymes by teaching your classmates and asking them challenging questions as they present.
- Read the PDF below titled "group presentations on metabolism" to get the specific instructions and guidelines for assignment.
- Use the following Google Slide presentation to connect each assigned part into a seamless presentation whole.

Tuesday/Wednesday
- Metabolism presentations have been moved to Thursday- and will be presenting on Thursday at the beginning of the period☹ Please make sure all groups add their respective parts to the Google Slide presentation posted on the Weebly site for period 4 (Monday) so we are all ready to go on Thursday.
There are two assignments you are to be working in class on posted below: - Read the following PDF titled "Changes in the air"- use a structured note-taking method to help with making sense of the article. Be sure to add questions you have about the article. We will have a class discussion on Thursday that will be fueled by your well thought out and insightful questions, contagious enthusiasm for learning and understanding!
- Read the PDF article titled 'Mechanically driven ATP synthesis by F1 ATPase, this was a scientific investigation that was published in the journal Nature.- Answer the summary questions at the end of the article in complete sentences This assignment is due on Friday BOP.
- Also, you should be starting Chapter 7 Review on cellular respiration which s due January 9th, Chapter 8 Review (photosynthesis is due the next week (January 16th).
- If you need to talk to Mr. Rapin, he will be in the classroom for all of Power Hour.-

- Serengeti Rules: Chapter 3- 10 pts. due Friday (Dec. 10)- structured notes and chapter questions below:
- Many bacteria must be able to synthesize the tryptophan amino acid for survival. In 1953, Jacques Monod showed how tryptophan synthesis is regulated in bacteria when he discovered the tryptophan operon. The tryptophan operon is composed of the genetic sequence that codes for an enzyme called tryptophan synthetase. Tryptophan synthetase catalyzes the final two steps of the pathway responsible for tryptophan synthesis. Upstream of this tryptophan operon is the gene that codes for a protein that represses the tryptophan operon and its ability to catalyze tryptophan. However, the repressor is unable to function unless it has the amino acid tryptophan bound to it!
- Turn to pages 56 and 57 of The Serengeti Rules. Here Sean Carroll describes a critical Nature of Science moment in the career of Jacques Monod.
a. Describe the observation Monod made as a result of his experiment, which is illustrated by Figure 3.2.
b. Write the hypothesis Monod proposed to explain his observation.
c. Briefly outline the method Monod designed to test his hypothesis.
d. Write the prediction Monod made for what he expected to see if his hypothesis was supported.
f. Using Figure 3.6 on page 70 for inspiration, construct a model for how tryptophan regulates its own synthesis.
