Please let me know if you are having any difficulty with viewing, printing but most importantly, with understanding it. There are sections that are not required- you are welcome to read them if you wish but the sections on:
can be skipped entirely. If you are thinking of going into something physiology/medically related, it would be a good idea to read it for your own knowledge.
- complement formation
- cytotoxic T and natural killer ( NK) cells
- different types of immunoglobulins
- allergy response
can be skipped entirely. If you are thinking of going into something physiology/medically related, it would be a good idea to read it for your own knowledge.

Sweet Dough Recipe: bake at 375 F. This will make a full pan of sweet rolls and in that shape, it will take about 20 minutes to bake through
proof: 2.5 teaspoons of Active Dry Yeast ( Bread machine is ok but not as good- it produces more carbon dioxide so what will be the result? but definitely not instant yeast which will not produce the full fermentation conditions and will not taste as good)
2 teaspoons sucrose
0.25 cup of warm water (Goldilocks style- why?)
Liquids: 1.5 cups milk
0.5 of a stick of butter ( saturated fat- what is its structure- what is a recent understanding about saturated fats in the human diet?)
3.5 teaspoons of NaCl
0.5 cups of sucrose
2 eggs
-Dry ingredients: approximately 5-5.5 cups of flour ( enough flour so that it isn't really really sticky)
Instructions:
-warm milk, butter, salt and sucrose in a pan until the sugar dissolves and the solution is just at simmer ( it is just about to boil).
-Pull off heat and let cool until warm- room temp is fine, anything colder and what will happen to the lipids in this solution? If that happens just reheat to get them into oil form.
-In a separate small bowl, beat eggs until well mixed- like scrambled eggs. Pour about a quarter of the warm milk solution into the egg mixture and blend.
-Add this egg/ liquid blend to the pan with the remaining milk solution.
In a large bowl, add 2 cups of flour and add the proofed yeast. Blend slightly. Add the egg/milk liquid and mix for a minimum of 100 turns.
^^( If you have a mixer that will knead dough ( like a kitchen aid type mixer) follow these directions: you can add about 2 cups of flour to the mixer and then scrape the flour mix into the mixer and set on low with a bread hook and add the remaining flour until the dough doesn't stick to the sides.)^^
-Add about 4 cups of flour and mix this in gradually. Gradually add even more flour as needed to allow the break dough to be pulled out of the bowl.
-Proceed as you did in class.
-Kneading this larger batch will take about twice as long
-Butter a large bowl. cover the dough with butter and place in a warm and protected location- put a clean cloth over the top to keep things from falling into your dough.
-When twice in size, punch down to original volume and leave it alone for five minute. After five minute rest, flour a counter lightly, roll the dough out and knead the dough again- half as long. Freeze at this point if you are going to- butter what ever you are wrapping/ putting it in so it doesn't stick.
-Form what ever shape rolls you wish and place in a baking pan. Let this rise again to twice in volume and bake immediately.
-After it is done, it needs to be taken out of the pan immediately and put on a baking rack ( or a row of chopsticks which is what I use- I have a lot of chopsticks in my house) and let cool. If you don't do this last step, your rolls may come out soggy.
Soft crust- if you want a soft crust, when it is just out of the oven, lightly rub underside with some butter and let cool.
Makes very good base for cinnamon rolls
Bon appetite/ Chop Fine!

- Overdue: milk lab report- get it to me asap.
Announcement: enzyme/ protein knowledge audits will not be due until the first day of class after the break. Study and get some sleep for midterms and be ready to work on your labs during class. You will be asked to show data and be able to discuss what is going on and show where you are keeping track of sources of error in your lab book.
Announcement: There will be a short midterm exam this coming Wed that is not cumulative and will be very short= associated with class discussions around graphing and enzymes.
Homework for week of 9/29
--1. Next Class: Milk coagulation graphs- mean, sd of obtained results and also of USRDA reference data ( this should be of grams of protein and fat for each type of milk used). Full Lab report will be due on next Monday.
--2. Before Next Class: Read over the link on standard deviation on the statistical analysis page and come in with questions. Look over the powerpoint and any of the other related links on that page.
--3. For next 4A class: come in with a basic design idea for factors that influence enzymes lab. You must have this approved by me before you can go any further on this.

LIPID Quiz
Station #1 this may be station #5 for some of you Using the following items to answer questions below: a. Test tubes, droppers, beakers with three different liquids and coffee filters/ paper State the type of liquids in the beakers- suggest a reason why ( hint- use the items given to you to test them out) · Alcohol= evaporates rapidly on your hand/hand; soluble in water · Water- evaporates slowly; soluble in itself · Unsaturated cis oil- insoluble in water ( lipid); oil consistency ( cis structure) Draw a generalized fatty acid structure that would be used to make one of these lipids Drawing MUST contain at least one double bond – you did not need to show the bend in the molecule as seen in this diagram Explain why you chose this structure Reasons that fit: lipid type = double bonded triglycerides are liquid at room temp Double bond is shown to fit this requirement Cis bond configuration= liquid at r/temp Identify the 2 components that are necessary to make this type of lipid · Glycerol and Unsaturated fatty acid Draw the reaction and name the bond that results Bond formed is an ester bond State the name of this reaction and identify the byproduct Condensation reaction and water is the byproduct FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO NEED THE CARBOHYDRATE HAND OUT- the file is not copying so this is the pasted file below. Please put the answers on a separate sheet of paper and identify it as being the Carbo ID Lab Questions. This is not due tomorrow due to lateness of this post. It will be due next class period after this. ( for those who did not have the original to work from).Carbohydrate Identification Lab Analysis Questions
1. Name the three categories of carbohydrates studied in this investigation and describe their polarity 2. Explain why this class of macromolecules are called polymers 3. What three chemical elements are present in all carbohydrates? i. What is the typical ration of each one 4. Give two examples each of the names of sugar molecules and identify where these would be found – this can from discussion, website resources, chapter text handout a. Monosaccharides b. Disaccharides c. Polysaccharides 5. “Mono” means one, “di” means two, and “poly” means many. Why are these terms used in describing the three types of sugars? 6. How can you tell by using Benedict’s and iodine solutions if a sugar is a a. Monosaccharide? b. Disaccharide? c. Polysaccharide? 7. A certain sugar has no change in color when tested with Benedict’s solution. a. Can you tell what type of saccharide it is? b. Explain. 8. A certain sugar has a color change in Benedict’s solution. a. Can you tell what type of saccharide it is? b. Explain. 9. Draw out the basic structure for and name an example for (a.) and i outline how (b.) or (c)) would be formed. ii Identify the functions for each of these a. Monosaccharides b. Disaccharides c. Polysaccharides |
Station #2 Butter State the type of fat here and suggest a reason why? Saturated fat- it is solid at room temperature
Identify the 2 components used to make this and draw them and label them as polar or non polar molecules The components are a glycerol ( polar/alcohol) and saturated fatty acid ( carboxylic acid/ polar) Explain the excess amount of this fat on human diet Obesity, Coronary Heart Disease, atherosclerosis and stroke, diabetes Station #3 Vegetable Oil Draw the generalized structure of this fat Compare this fat's structure to that with the fat @station #2 This is an unsaturated fat so there will be a double bond present in the long carbon tail ( fatty acid tail) Identify where these are found in nature These are found in plants ( except coconut and palm kernel) Station #4 Trans fat Explain the structural differences between #3 and #4 There is a double bond in carbon hydrogen fatty tail of #3 that is in the cis orientation- the H on the same side of the double bond. The trans H orientation is diagonal across the double bond. Discuss the impact of this fat on the human body This fat increases the risk of stroke, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and diabetes in addition to diabetes. This lowers the good cholesterol of HDL and increase the bad cholesterol of LDL in the blood stream. No amount of this fat is considered acceptable based on FDA recommendations and various medical research studies. Explain where these fats are likely to be found and compare that location to the lipids at #1 and #2 These fats are manufactured by hydrogenating unsaturated oils and are not generally thought to exist in nature ( at least based on IB level) Posting of Station #5/ #1 for some students not available at the moment |

TEST next Thursday on everything covered so far. I will hold a Monday tutorial for those students who have questions prepared and have note cards made. Drop off your questions during the day on Monday.
Milk Lab- write up due next classToday you extracted proteins out of the three types of milk: cow, almond and soy. You are to write out your materials ( bullet this) and your procedure ( list these numerically) and then create a data table that shows the results. You should also have a section underneath the data table where your observations are to be documented - these were to have been written down during the experiment and will include any and all non- quantifiable observations. Below that or after that, you should show your graphs- see below. After the graphs, write up a comparison between all three of the samples. Compare your obtained results to the protein content of each form of milk present. The actual food information will be found in the Topic: Nutrition Section in this website later this evening or your can look it up yourself but document where you got the numbers from). Create a bar graph comparing each milk for protein content and create a second graph comparing each obtained result to the commercial standard amount found in the nutrition section. Scale your graphs so that they take up at least half a page each and are on separate pages directly after the data tables,
Analyze your results and discuss any sources of error or variability that were present in your procedure. Comment on the reliability of your data and suggest ways to make it more reliable. Explain how casein ( or any globular protein) maintains its shape and suggest an reason for why acetic acid had such a change to how each of the liquids appeared. List and annotate all of the command terms used in this assignment at the bottom of your write up. |
Homework 9/14Finish: Knowledge Audit How To's ( this is found in the main general documents page) for Topic 3.1 and 3.2 ( and 7 to be added later Friday evening) Follow the instructions and pay attention to the command terms. Command term definitions are on the same general documents page. Use your notes and the condensed click notes at the bottom of Topic: Chemistry of Life and Topic: Protein and Nucleic Acids to answer the objective statements as if they were a question.
Answer the handouts given out during last class using the click notes or if you were not present in class to pick up your questions ( or get them returned to you) please answer the questions below.
| ||||
Labor Day Homework: delayed until this upcoming weekend. Don't forget to review notes/create note cards. New cards should include creation of triglycerides; id/naming of various glycerides; hydrolysis and condensation reactions; ester bond identification and drawing saturated and unsaturated triglycerides.
|
Continuous assignments-Please note that there will be the continual need to update and review note cards, review notes and go back over review reference sites. This is a standing assignment and will not be directly given to you on a daily or weekly basis. This course is cumulative and as such will require you to review material continually through out this year and maintain that knowledge into the next year. Get into the habit of using your planner, schedule out time to review and be consistent with your studying. Cramming is actively discouraged so please plan your time wisely; sleeping well and exercise/relaxation are encouraged.

How to use this websiteYou will find general IB Biology reference material/ study tips/ vocab list/diagram list and command terms here on this page and some on the HL general docs page. Sl Blog will contain posts of interest, extra credit and various science related and class discussion related continued topics/posts. Topics/Options will have subheadings for the various topics that will contain reference notes, reference review sites, helpful animations or links and videos related to the IB objectives for that topic. TOK is additional TOK related posts of various kinds. Extended Essay is directly related to Biology EEs but there is general EE information as well as links and articles for other subjects ( updated as time allows). Group 4 page is related to the IB Chem/ IB Bio joint group project that will occur during the senior year. ( Don't worry about that yet!). This website is not complete and topics are continually being updated so check back through to see if anything has been added to a topic from time to time.
