RNA Transcription/processing
This covers a lot…Sorry. It's over some transcriptional regulation and RNA Processing.
Note, that this is pretty specific for Eukaryotes.

Photosynthesis
In some ways, photosynthesis and respiration are the opposites of each other. As we go through it, think "follow the electrons."
Here is a link to a "mind map" comparing and contrasting the two.

Respiration
Many enzymes use "cofactors" to help carry out their function. The one above is a "Heme." We will see a lot of these and similar structures. The ring is called a porphyrin ring. A heme is a porphyrin ring with an iron in it. The iron can carry oxygen molecules. We discussed hemoglobin earlier. That protein carries oxygen in your blood. Or, to be more correct, that protein carries a 4 heme groups, each of which carries an iron, each of which carries oxygen.

Cell Cycle
This is a brief introduction the cell cycle. As we discussed on Thursday, there are some minimal things we know have to go on.
