WARM UP #5

Big Idea 2: Biological systems utilize free energy and

molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce and to

maintain dynamic homeostasis.

Objective:

Students will complete Reading Guide Ch. 7 in order to survey concepts related to cellular structure and function.  

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.
