     ***************** READ THE FOLLOWING ****************

Even though you are not assigned written homework every night, you need to 
review your material on a daily basis.  At any time you are subject to a 
quiz on material that was covered the class before.  These quizzes will be 
unannounced.

I have posted a review on the "AP Bio Assignments" page.  Make sure to read 
the top of it.  It is just a review to guide your study.  
Doing the two study guides I gave you in class will be a good review too.

2.  Go over previous quizzes, review for test.
HW:  Study for test on Chapter 3.  

Mon 10/6
1.  PopQuiz:  Protein Structure
2.  Lab: Enzyme activity Demo
3.  Notes: Nucleic Acids
HW:  Complete the write up on today's lab demo.  Review notes on Nucleic
     Acids and read the last couple of pages in the textbook on nucleic 
     acids.  Some of you need to polish your answers on the "Building 
     Macromolecules" activity.
