This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Chemistry of Life, Essential Question How does the structure of biological macromolecules influence how a cell functions? To understand this unit we you need to have a knowledge check! Topic 1: Basic Chemistry ....I thought this was a biology course!, Topic 1: Basic Chemistry ....I thought this was a biology course! Objective 2 All Life on Earth are carbon-based life forms, including you. Discuss why carbon may have been the molecule of choice., Topic 2: Macromolecules Structure and Function Objective 1 Using the term monomer and polymer construct a presentation explaining how proteins and carbohydrates are built., Demonstrate how to construct a polynucleotide Activity 1 Produce a short essay with images on the structure of DNA and three different forms of RNA, Classify proteins into four groups and provide examples of each. Activity 2 2. Using the chart provided write the amino acid sequence for the first 20 amino acids of insulin. Post these on the board, check and critique the sequence of two others., Essential Question How does the structure of biological macromolecules influence how a cell functions? What do your genes actually do? Topic 4: Protein Synthesis, Essential Question How does the structure of biological macromolecules influence how a cell functions? You have learned how cells divide - NOW...how does your DNA copy itself? Topic 3: Semi-Conservative Replication (S-R-C), Using the term monomer and polymer construct a presentation explaining how proteins and carbohydrates are built. Group Activity 1 Use the weblinks provided to present the hierarchical structure and function of carbohydrates and proteins. Include the role of each type metnioned in the animal and plant kingdoms. View two other presentations and critique the accuracy., Topic 4: Protein Synthesis Objective 2 Assemble the components of protein synthesis and use the resources to model how proteins are made., Classify proteins into four groups and provide examples of each. Activity 1 Read the mini-lecture and tutorial provided. Reviewing the previous work on proteins, produce: 1. a table to show examples of primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary proteins, how they maintain their shape and two functions in the body., Essential Question How does the structure of biological macromolecules influence how a cell functions? To relate the four key macromolecules to the cell function already learned, a knowledge of their construction is requried Topic 2: Macromolecules Structure and Function, Using all the key terms provided distinguish between the roles of the different enzymes in S-C-R Activity 3 Review the mini-lecture on enzymes. Produce a table to show the enzymes involved in S-R-C. Provide columns to show the enzymes shape, location and role in S-R-C. Post it on the discussion board. Initiate a threaded discussion on your description of the roles., Using the resources available synthesise and evaluate the process of protein synthesis. Activity 4 This is a 1000 word essay All key words from the list are used. It should be referenced and suitable for submission to the IB as an examination piece. Emphasis should be placed on the relationship between DNA, Genes, RNA and protein structure and function., Topic 2: Macromolecules Structure and Function Objective 2 Compare the similarities and differences between unsaturated and saturated fats., Topic 3: Semi-Conservative Replication (S-R-C) Objective 2 Using all the key terms provided distinguish between the roles of the different enzymes in S-C-R, Topic 4: Protein Synthesis Objective 3 Using the resources available synthesise and evaluate the process of protein synthesis., Using the annotated list above, recall the definitions and images of the basic chemistry terms. Activity 1 Post the annotated list on our discussion board. Add two extra terms you think should be on the list, justify their presence. Respond to two other participants regarding their selection., Using the annotated list above, recall the definitions and images of the basic chemistry terms. Activity 2 Use the tutorial provided to complete the quiz on basic chemistry it focuses primarily on bonding and reactions. The quiz is timed!, Topic 4: Protein Synthesis Objective 1 Classify proteins into four groups and provide examples of each., Topic 3: Semi-Conservative Replication (S-R-C) Objective 1 Demonstrate how to construct a polynucleotide
