The Molecules of Life

2. Macromolecules Processing Activity
With your card, locate others that belong in your “group”. You can tell what group you’re in by the description on the card.
There are 6 people per group.
Once all 6 of you are “found”, stand together in the back of the room and quietly raise (all of) your hands. I will make sure you all belong in the same group. First group that is complete gets a prize.

3. Be able to explain, define, describe:
Monomers
Polymers
Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides
Lipids
Glycerol
Fatty Acids
Proteins
Amino Acids
Examples of each type of molecule
Functions of each type of molecule
Structures of each type of molecule (and rule to determine)
What each type of molecule looks like and is made of (monomers)
Hydrolysis (what it is, what it looks like, what it produces)
Dehydration (what it is, what it looks like, what it produces)
Peptide bond
Primary Structure
Secondary Structure
Tertiary Structure
Quaternary Structure
R group
Saturated Fat
Unsaturated Fat
Double bonds (and single bonds)
Synthesized
Molecular formula (what it looks like, some examples)
One scenario question
A question on summer reading book and its relationship to molecules of life

4. Functions of this Macromolecule in the body
Review Task #1
Examples of Polymer (i.e., where you can find it, what is a source of it?)
Monomers (i.e., what smaller molecules make this up?)
Type of Bond formed between monomers
Info on its Molecular Formula & Monomer Structure (i.e., what is a rule that helps us distinguish this molecule from others?)
Functions of this Macromolecule in the body
Carbo-hydrates
Lipids
Proteins

5. Review Task #2 Explain and draw dehydration synthesis.
Explain and draw hydrolysis.

6. Review Task #3 Molecular Structure Functions Monomers and Polymers
Compare & Contrast Lipids, Proteins, Carbohydrates
Molecular Structure
Functions
Monomers and Polymers
Sources (food)
Processes used to create monomers/polymers
do it. 

7. Review Task #3.5
Write the molecular formula for a starch molecule consisting of 22 glucose molecules, and explain how you know.

8. Review Task #4
Explain the 4 levels of protein structure and how they contribute to the overall 3D structure of the protein molecule.

9. Review Task #5
Explain how proteins can be beneficial to living things using all of the following terms and underlining them when used: protein, enzyme, substrate, energy, structure, tertiary

10. Review Task #6
What molecules can be represented by each color (purple, yellow, orange, and pink)? If the yellow molecule is lactose, what are the rest?
Label on this diagram:
Enzyme
Substrate
Products
Glycosidic bond (where it is)
Dehydration (where it happened)
Hydrolysis (where it happened)
An example enzyme name and its associated substrate
The example enzyme/substrate’s products!
