    SUFFOLK COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE MICHAEL J. GRANT CAMPUS, BRENTWOOD NY BIO 150—MODERN BIOLOGY I INSTRUCTOR: DR. JAMES F. REMSEN, JR. ADDENDUM TO COURSE OUTLINE Instructor email: remsenj@sunysuffolk.edu Phone: (631) 851-6824 Office: Sagtikos 110 Office Hours Spring 2013: M Tu Th 11:00 A.M.-12:15 P.M. W 6:00-7:15 P.M. (Virtual) This addendum addresses how I run my classroom and what I expect of students above and beyond what is presented in the syllabus. I also offer tips for success in the course, and advice to help you determine if this course will meet your career goals once you complete it. Please take this information in the spirit in which it is offered: to foster a better learning environment, and to help you avoid outcomes that are not helpful to advancing your goals, whatever those may be. PREREQUISITES AND INTENDED AUDIENCE: BIO 150 is the first half of a twosemester sequence in modern biology. The course is taught at a science majors level and is intended for students who wish to enter the biological sciences, health professions, etc., or who wish to pursue bachelor’s or graduate degrees in biology or related fields. High school chemistry is the minimum prerequisite. MATERIALS: It is recommended that you buy a notebook for both lecture and lab in addition to the lecture textbook and lab manual. Try not to mix lecture and lab notes. STUDY TIPS: Ideally, you should go home and review each lecture’s notes within a day of the lecture being given, and keep this up for the whole semester. Also read the pertinent sections in the textbook. The lecture outlines I am providing you are just that, outlines. They should be used as a study guide, because only topics included in the outlines are eligible for the exams to be given. The outlines do NOT, however, contain every piece of information contained in the lectures. You need to take good notes and study your textbook as well if you wish to do well on the exams. Your goal should be to understand the material such…

    The experiment was conducted to determine the impact different yeast amounts had on yeast fermentation. It was hypothesized that the more yeast added the more CO2 would be produced. The carbon dioxide production was measured in the fermentation of yeast with solution of no yeast in test tube 1, 1mL yeast in test tube 2, and 3mL of yeast in test tube 3 over a period of twenty minutes. All of the yeast amounts produced CO2, but test tube 3 was the most efficient of the three.…

    Name ____________________________ I) Introduction All cells contain four major types of macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. In today’s lab, we will be studying three of the four-proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. Various chemical tests can be used to detect the presence of each of these molecules. Most of the tests involve a color change visible to the eye. If a color change is observed, the test is considered positive. If the color change is not observed, the test is negative, indicating that a particular molecule is not present. In all the chemical tests we will be performing, we will also be using a control. In most cases, the control will be a sample of distilled water (which should not contain any macromolecules). If your control gives you a positive result, you know your test is invalid. Another important aspect of the chemical composition of cells is the pH of their environment. Most cells operate in a narrow pH range. That is, pH values above or below a certain value may cause a cell distress or may even be fatal. To help maintain relatively constant pH levels, living systems use buffers. A buffer is a combination of a weak acid and a weak base that function together to minimize changes in the pH of a solution. In today’s lab, we will learn how to measure pH and demonstrate how buffers work. II) Procedure A) Carbohydrates The basic building blocks for carbohydrates are sugars, also called monosaccharides. These molecules are often linked together to form medium-length chains called oligosaccharides, or very long chains called polysaccharides. The chemical and physical properties of monosaccharides and polysaccharides are different and can be detected with specific chemical tests. Glucose is an example of a monosaccharide that can be linked together in long chains to make a polysaccharide called starch. Even though starch is made up of glucose, in chemical tests the two…
