Description

Unit 2: Introduction to Biochemistry Study Sheet This worksheet is a guide for your studying and represents what your Biology teachers expect you to have learned and be able to do by the end of this unit. SUPER STUDENT TIP: Excellent students have the practice of completing this worksheet as they go to help them reinforce what they’re learning (and save themselves time at the end of the unit). Can you define the following key terms: monomer monosaccharide polymer carbohydrate nucleotide polysaccharide nucleic acid saturated amino acid unsaturated polypeptide fatty acid protein lipid

glycerol organic compound non-organic compound indicator Biuret solution iodine atom

molecule hydrophobic hydrophilic phospholipid positive control group negative control group

Can you answer the following questions and if not, do you know what assignment(s) to look at to find the answer? Unit 2 Essential Question: What does our body need to survive, thrive, and keep it feeling good? Learning Target Know the Know where to You should be able to describe… answer? find the answer? What is the difference between a monomer and a polymer?

What is the difference between an atom and a molecule?

In a chemical formula, what are coefficients used to represent? How does this differ from what subscripts represent? What are the monomers of the four main macromolecule polymers that characterize life? Where is each macromolecule synthesized (made)?

What are the functions of carbohydrates? Give two examples of two different types of carbohydrates.

What are the monomers of carbohydrates? *Be able to identify and draw a molecule of this monomer

In what foods are carbohydrates found?

Learning Target You should be able to describe… What are the functions of proteins and where are they constructed? What are the monomers of proteins? *Be able to identify and draw a molecule of this monomer. In what foods and other substances are proteins found?

What are the monomers of proteins? *Be able to identify and draw a molecule of this monomer. What are the functions of lipids?

Why are lipids not technically considered a polymer? What are lipids composed of? *Be able to identify and draw a molecule of this monomer. Lipids are organized in a bilayer of a cell membrane. Diagram how they are organized with respect to the water outside the cell and the cytoplasm inside the cell and describe why they are organized in this way. In what foods or other structures are lipids found?

What are the functions of nucleic acids?

What are the monomers of nucleic acids? *Be able to identify and draw a molecule of this monomer. What type of macromolecule is used to make proteins? How does information flow from one type of this macromolecule to another, to finally make proteins? What is the purpose of an indicator?

How are negative and positive controls used in tests to determine the presence of a particular macromolecule? What tests can be conducted to confirm the presents of carbohydrates, proteins, or lipids in a solution? *Be able to describe what indicator can be used in each of these tests and what results would indicate the presence or absence of each macromolecule What is the difference between an organic and non-organic compound?
