1. Station 1:
Carbohydrates are the most common organic molecule because they make up most plant matter. They are made from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Their building block a single sugar called a monosaccharide. Sugars (monosaccharides) consist of carbon rings. When two monosaccharides, or sugars, combine, they form a disaccharide (di = two). When more than two monosaccharides join together, a polysaccharide (poly = many) is formed.
What are the elements contained in carbohydrates?
What is the building block of carbohydrates?
What is a monosaccharide?
What does a monosaccharide look like?
What is a disaccharide?
How does a polysaccharide differ from a disaccharide?

2. Station 2:
There are three classes of carbohydrate polysaccharides. The first is starch. Starch is a carbohydrate used in food storage in plants. Potatoes, pasta and rice are rich in starch. Starches are very valuable because they provide a quick form of energy for the body. The second is glycogen. Glycogen is used for food storage in animals. The third is cellulose. Cellulose is used for structural support in plants (stems, leaves).
What are the three classes of carbohydrates?
Which involves food storage in plants?
Which involves food storage in animals?
What is cellulose used for?
Why would an athlete have a big pasta dinner the night before a race?

3. Station 3: Tell me the name of each process pictured:

4. Station 5:
Write out or draw the feedback loop for insulin and glucagon
FROM MEMORY!

5. Station 6: What is the difference between Type I and Type II Diabetes?
After you eat, what organ in your body is signaled to release insulin?
Without insulin what wouldn’t our body be able to do?

6. Station 7: Identify and describe the 4 structures.
Hydrogen bonding is formed between what structures in a protein?
What are the elements found in amino acids?
What type of bond keeps together a chain of amino acids?

7. Station 8: Identify/Draw the structure of an amino acid.
What makes each amino acid different?
Name 5 functions of proteins and an example of each.
What determines the function of a protein?
What are essential amino acids?
