cycle are.
Short answer:


These are mostly based on the discussion questions from the notes although they could
also be based on the notes from class. Study both.
They are to have a 2-3 sentence answer not a paragraph so learn concise answers, not
rambling ones.
Diagrams:

The diagrams could be on any illustration that we made in class or that appears in your
notes. Everything is free game. You could possibly be asked to label the diagram, or to
explain it, or more likely to do both. Specifically I will target one diagram from cellular
respiration, and one from photosynthesis.
