Standards:
SC.912.L.18.1 Describe the basic molecular structures and primary functions of the four categories of biological macromolecules.
SC.912.L.18.2 Describe the important structural characteristics of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides and explain the functions of carbohydrates in living things.
SC.912.L.18.3 Describe the structures of fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids. Explain the functions of lipids in living organisms. Identify some reactions that fatty acids undergo.
SC.912.L.18.4 Describe the structures of proteins and amino acids. Explain the functions of proteins in living organisms. Identify some reactions that amino acids undergo. Relate the structure and function of enzymes.
SC.912.P.8.7 Interpret formula representations of molecules and compounds in terms of composition and structure.
SC.912.P.8.12 Describe the properties of the carbon atom that make the diversity of carbon compounds possible.
Objectives:
1. Students can tell the role of monomers in forming polymers.
2. Students can draw the structures, identify the functions functions and sources of the four basic macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids).
3. Students can draw the formula representations elements and compounds.
4. Students can describe the role of the carbon atom in building larger carbon based molecules.
Daily Essential Questions:
Why can we all be considered carbon-based life forms? Why do different types of carbon chains meet our needs?
Agenda
Reteach & Remediation of Macromolecules (Sect 2-3)
Directions:
A. Draw the molecular formula for each macromolecule (see Mr. Ison for drawing of Nucleic Acid or search "nucleic acid molecular formula" in google images, be sure to pick one that shows the nitrogenous base, 5-carbon sugar, and phosphate group). Identify what makes this structure unique.
B. Write out the functions of each macromolecule.
Homework: Review Macromolecules molecular structures and functions.
