10/7 Biology Update and homework due 10/14

Hi folks,

Today we discussed enzymes and five of their basic functions.  We also enjoyed the amazing thrill of learning to draw the monomers of the four biological molecules.  :)  Next week we will get into those quite a bit deeper.

There will be a quiz next week so be sure to focus on the material on this homework and keep memorizing those prefixes and suffixes.  

For homework next week:

 On either the flash cards I gave you or on your own:

Create flash cards based on the biological molecule chart I gave you in class last week.

Create a flash card for each of the four functional groups.

Create a flash card with the 5 things that enzymes do. (Remember FRECC)

Create flash cards with the four bio molecule monomers.

Create flash cards with the monomer and the associated functional groups.

Be sure to practice drawing those functional groups and those monomers.  YOU MUST DRAW THEM TO LEARN THEM!!!

Also, fill out the following set of questions.

1. Which biological molecule stores energy?

2. Which biological molecule is the main source of energy?

3. Which biological molecule contain nitrogen?

4. Name all the biological molecules that contain carboxyl groups.

5. Name all the biological molecules that contain hydroxyl (if a hydroxyl is in a carboxyl, it's just a carboxyl).

6. Which two biological molecules are associated with providing structure for animals and plants?

7. Which biological molecule is vital for genetic information?

8. Which biological molecule would be most associated with eggs?

9. Which biological molecule would be most associated with vegetable oil?

10. Which biological molecule is associate with cell membranes?

11. Which biological molecule consists of a sugar and an phosphate group?

12. Which type of biological molecule is a triglyceride?

13. What kind of a biological molecule is insulin?

14. What kind of a biological molecule is starch?

15. What kind of a biological molecules are fatty acids associated with?

16. What are the 3 elements all life is made from?

17. What are the monomers of carbohydrates called?

18. What are the monomers of proteins called?

19. What are the two types of nucleic acids?

20. What kind of a biological molecule is a sterol?

21. If I'm talking about a polypeptide, what kind of biological molecule am I talking about?
