My Microcellular Biology teacher is well aware of the stuff we don't know. Half the time when someone asks a question in lecture, his answer is "We don't know." There's a whole lot of stuff in the Biology/Biochemistry field that we're just beginning to understand, and half of the stuff that's in the books is really just our current "best model" for a system. Like replicating DNA. We know it happens, but we're still not positive what the mechanism is that does it. We know many of the enzymes, and we're pretty sure how they work together, but we're not positive how they work in action. It's part of the reason why I'm so interested in it.
I would surmise it's the same with most developing sciences, like Quantum Physics (which I only have one semester's background in). Other, more fundamental forces, like gravity, I still don't feel we really understand how it works. And NO ONE has ever given me a straight answer as to how an atom "absorbs" a photon and it causes the electron to "jump up an energy level". I should post that in Tilted Knowledge sometime and see what people's theories are.
There's a crapload of stuff we don't know.
