Unit 1 Test Review
STUDY, STUDY—SCHOOL IS YOUR BUDDY!
Notes, Labs, and the foldable will help you study for the test.
The four chemicals of life (biomolecules/macromolecules)—carbs, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
Study Tips: Get into a study group (three to four students that care about education)
Go through your notes at least once a day. This could take ten minutes or more depending on your effort level.
IF you are studying and don’t understand something, then write it down and ask me during class, during my duty, or
email me the question(s).
YOUR EFFORT LEVEL HAS A DIRECT CORRELATION TO YOUR TEST GRADE!!!
Check class calendar for your test date.
Things to Use to Study
1. Vocab Sheet
2. Labs: Indentifying Biomolecules, Enzyme Action
3. Notes page for each biomolecule
4. Read through your Video guide
5. Read through your Notes in your journal
