Unit: Bio Chemistry & Biomolecules

 

Essential Questions: How do the structure of molecules enable life's functions? What are some basic molecules that all living things depend on to survive?

 

 

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this unit, you should be able to.... (Those in bold will be essential & will be assessed formally in the curriculum)

 

Objectives

1.

Use a periodic table to determine an atom’s: atomic mass, number of protons, electrons & neutrons, and valence electrons.

2.
Interpret chemical formulas
3.

Explain the importance of water to life, and describe its unique properties such as cohesion, surface tension, and capillary action, explain how they arise based on their intra and intermolecular forces.

4.

Recognize that biological organisms are composed primarily of very few elements. The six most common elements found in living things are C, H, O, N, P, S.

5.

Describe how structure determines function on the molecular level and provide an example.

6. Describe the basic molecular structures and Explain the function of the four basic macro organic molecules: carbohydrate, lipid, protein, nucleic acid.
7. Explain dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis. Be able to apply these concepts to how the macro molecules can be formed from monomers. 
8. Be able to identify the important uses of the four macromolecules in the a biological system.
9. Be able to explain how nutrients are cycled through the ecosystem and how that relates to the important chemicals necessary for life.
