EcoRegion Project Presentations Eaves Class Part of your grade will be based on your presentation and your attention during your classmates’ presentations. Hand me your rubric when you come up to present.

Ecology Peer Evaluations- Eaves Class On the top left of your paper please PRINT all group members names (first & last) On the top right of your paper please PRINT your name Divide your paper into three sections (one section for each of your partners and one section for your self evaluation). Write your partner's names above one of the sections and your name above the last section) Answer these questions using COMPLETE SENTENCES about each partner in their section of your paper and about yourself in your section. 1. Did your partner complete their assigned section of your presentation? 2. Did your partner complete their assigned section on time? 3. Did your partner use their class time wisely? 4. Do you think your partner adequately explained their section? Why or why not? 5. Did your partner include video clips and diagrams or any additional material for their section? 6. What grade do you think your partner deserves AND WHY? **DO NOT let anyone see your evaluation. Bring your paper to me.

Today’s Objective: Objective: To understand how monomers form polymers by dehydration synthesis To describe and explain the structure and function of carbohydrates

Dehydration Synthesis/Condensation Reactions Demonstration

Biochemistry Introduction ppt Slides (Carbs) So far this year we’ve learned about: Ecosystems, Communities, Populations, and Individual Species/Organisms We will learn all about the cells The question now is……what makes up the cell?????

Quick Review & Some New Information Monomers are small single subunits or building blocks that form polymers. Examples of monomers and polymers include: 1. amino acids are the monomers for proteins/polypeptides 1. amino acids are the monomers for proteins/polypeptides 2. nucleotides are the monomers for nucleic acids (RNA/DNA) 2. nucleotides are the monomers for nucleic acids (RNA/DNA) Monomers are joined together to form polymers by a chemical reaction called Dehydration Synthesis or also known as a Condensation Reaction. Polymers are broken down into their monomers (digestion) by a reaction called Hydrolysis by a reaction called Hydrolysis *Water is the important link in both reactions!!!
