Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - WUP #3


WARM UP #3
Big Idea 2: Biological systems utilize free energy and
molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce and to
maintain dynamic homeostasis.
Objective:
Students will review concepts related to organic compounds in order to demonstrate their understanding through a written assessment.  
Enduring understanding 4.A: Interactions within biological systems lead to complex properties. 
Essential knowledge 4.A.1: The subcomponents of biological molecules and their sequence determine the properties of that molecule.
Learning Objectives:
  • The student is able to explain the connection between the sequence and the subcomponents of a biological polymer and its properties.
  • The student is able to refine representations and models to explain how the subcomponents of a biological polymer and their sequence determine the properties of that polymer.
  • The student is able to use models to predict and justify that changes in the subcomponents of a biological polymer affect the functionality of the molecule.
Warm Up/Things to Do:
  1. On your own and using Page 90, identify the 8 types of proteins and provide the function of each. 
  2. Page 91 #8 /5 - 7 minutes
