General & Organic Chemistry Need to Know List

Cell Cycle & Genetics Need To Know List This is for chapters 10 & 11, so you better get started NOW! You are to use the textbook, class activities and notes to know as much as possible about these concepts. Be as specific and complete as you can! Not everything here will be covered in class, nor is everything in the textbook. You must READ, PARTICIPATE, TAKE NOTES and STUDY!!
