4.A.1: The subcomponents of biological molecules and their sequence determine the properties of that molecule.
4.B.1: Interactions between molecules affect their structure and function.
4.C.1: Variation in molecular units provides cells with a wider range of functions.
a) I will be able to identify the monomers and polymers of each of the four classes of organic molecules.
b) I will become familiar with the characteristics and properties of each of the classes and subclasses of organic molecules.c) I will be able to relate the organic molecules to their everyday life, diet and nutrition.

Carbohydrates and lipids...oh my!!
Identify the materials containing lipids or carbohydrates that are placed on the demo desk. Try to be as specific as possible for the type of lipid or carbohydrate.
And no....you cannot eat the banana!!!
Next build a glucose molecule- make sure it is structurally correct. Be able to demonstrate a dehydration and a condensation reaction to make the disaccharide maltose and then sucrose. Next work with the rest of the class to make a giant starch molecule. What subtle difference makes this polymer different than cellulose? Why does this matter?
