Today Ms. Rodman was away, but we started a new "mini-unit" within the unit on the cell membrane and transport. The power point is HERE and the note sheet HERE. These questions go with TEXTbook chapter 6.2 and 6.3
We answered some questions found HERE. (Enzyme questions- starting on page 5: up to #11 )
