1. Do Now (you have 5 minutes after the bell to complete)
These are the most missed quiz questions from Friday:
Which 3 elements are found in organic compounds? Which one is the most common?
Where is the independent variable placed on the graph? How do you know?
Which 2 tissues are responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout a plant? Which organ system is similar in humans?
What organ is responsible for homeostasis? What are other examples of organs?
Cells are less complex than organs. Why?
When you are done, put your name on your Post-it, and place it on the “Do Now Parking Lot”

2. Biochemistry
Module 2
Day 2 of 7

3. Ms. CL’s Expectation #1 Every day students will:
silently enter the classroom
turn in any homework assignments
sit at assigned seat (will change every Module starting with Biochemistry)
independently begin “Do Now”
turn in Do Now and review notes

4. Ms. CL’s Expectation #2
Students will earn 2 minutes of music (with headphones) during
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
for every 5 minutes the class can go without:
getting up without permission
shouting out answers w/o being called on
using cell phone
while Ms. CL is teaching (PowerPoint notes, giving instructions, etc)

5. SWBAT differentiate between organic and inorganic compounds
identify lipids and nucleic acids as major organic compounds
identify monomer and function of both lipids and nucleic acids

6. Lipids- Major Organic Compound
1 of 5
Lipids
There are several types of lipids, but all contain monomers (subunits) of glycerol ( backbone) and fatty acids (chain).
One of a lipid’s function is to Insulate and protect organs in the body

7. Examples of Lipids
2 of 5
a. Fats can be saturated (usually solid at room temperature) or unsaturated (usually liquid).
b. Phospholipids also contain a phosphate group and make up most of the cell membrane.
c. Steroids are lipid rings and help regulate the organism through cell communication (act as hormones)

8. Functions of lipids
a. Lipids can be used as very long-term (weeks, months) energy sources.
Ex. Bears accumulate a layer of fat before winter
b. Fats stored in the body act as insulation and protection for internal organs.
c. Some hormones are composed of lipids (steroids).

9. Nucleic Acids https://youtu.be/T5gEIViVAPw (2 mins)
4 of 5
Nucleic acids store the code for genetic heredity.
A nucleic acid’s monomer (subunit) is a nucleotide. Many nucleotides bond together to make up a long chain called a nucleic acid.
Nucleic acids allow traits to be passed from parent to child (DNA)

10. There are two basic types of nucleic acids:
DNA is a double chain of nucleotides found in all living cells.
RNA is a single chain of nucleotides that provides the structures needed for the cell to make proteins.

11. Group activity Let’s graph our quiz scores!!!!!
You may work with 1 partner.
Your task is to create a graph based on each block’s mean, median, and/or mode.
Make sure your graph has a Title, Independent variable, Dependent variable, and data.

12. SWBAT differentiate between organic and inorganic compounds
identify lipids and nucleic acids as major organic compounds
identify monomer and function of both lipids and nucleic acids

13. Independent Practice Graphing worksheet
Individually complete the two graphing problems.
When you are finished take this time to complete any missing work.
If your grade in PowerSchool is not a 90% or higher, get it there.
Work Hard. Get Smart.

14. Exit Ticket What are the functions of a lipid?
What is one example of a lipid?
What is the monomer of a nucleic acid?
What is a synonym for regulation?
What is one random fact you’d like to learn about me?
