what we did:

• finished the nutrients worksheet (carbohydrates/ lipids/ proteins)
• looked at enzymes
• took notes from the board (section 8.2, pg. 254-258)
• went over questions on pg. 258, #1, 3, 11 a) b) c)
• got a digestive system handout
• started taking 1st page of handout notes

thoughts and opinions:

• the material covered was all pretty straightforward, but i wondered how many amino acids are there in a protein?
  
• but i'm not looking forward to the PS and CR UNIT TEST tomorrow!!!

additional info:

• apparently there are about 288 amino acids in one average sized protein molecule!

(i couldn't get a picture of a protein molecule on here, but go to google images and type in proteins and amino acids, and you can see lots there)
