Photo-Finish

Let's make this simple :
Read all of 8.3 and answer end of chapter questions 7-10, 18-23 and 26-28 (page 217).  Copy all of the diagrams over again. [figure 8-7 on page 209, figure 8-10 on page 211, and figure 8-11 on page 212]
THIS IS THE HOMEWORK YOU TURN IN ON THURSDAY.

Oh, and what is ATP synthase?  Here is a cool video:Evidence of a Designer: The ATP Synthase Enzyme   It's so cool, and so short, you should watch it twice!  Draw a picture of ATP synthase in your lab book, and tell what it does for the cell.  Why is it "an evolutionary impossibility?"

more vids. Photosynthesis: Light Reactions 
(if only you could play this in fast forward: this explanation gives you no idea of how fast this is going: up to 7,000 rotations per minute on the ATP synthase!)

The Calvin Cycle  not great, but not long either.  If you find a better one, post a comment.  Can you think of a SIMPLE way to model the Calvin Cycle?  Please share on Thursday.
