Biomolecules Notes  

Biomolecules Summary Notes     

Review Questions and Their Answers 

DNA LESSON

 

We will explore the nature of DNA. We will review these notes here  and later you will get a worksheet looking at DNA replication.

Observing biomolecules in action

 Observe a cooking demonstration and note ALL the biomolecules in the ingredients.  Take photographs of the ingredient , the recipe and the outcome.  Did the biomolecules undergo any changes due to changes in  thermal energy? pH?  What was their state ? solid or liquid ?  Did anything turn into a gas?

Demonstrate your biochemical knowledge by explaining what happened to the biomolecules.  Your report may be in the form of a document, pdf, powerpoint (powerpoint is preferred)

Your report includes

a Title:  What was the food that was prepared?

1. A table with the following titles:  ingredient, biomolecule, draw the formula

2.  Steps to make the food:  Describe changes in thermal energy and pH if any

3.  Conclusion:  write a short paragraph summarizing what you learned/tasted 

Evaluation /30

27-30.  This is an excellent and complete analysis of all the biomolecules, the report is organized and includes pictures, either drawings or photos. it has excellent presentation 

20-25.  This is a complete analysis of all the biomolecules. the report includes pictures or drawings of most biomolecules

15-20. This is a partial list of all the biomolecules. the report contains no pictures or drawings

0-15. This report is a good start but it is not complete 

Sept 8 to 16, 2025 : Biomolecules.

 lecture on biomolecules here:  Please review the notes on Carbohydrates and Proteins

Biomolecules Notes  

And here are some summary notes reviewing the same content describing the monomers and polymers that can form through dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis . your teacher will review these concepts over a few days

Biomolecules Summary Notes     

After reading these notes, work on this worksheet on biomolecules . The answers to these questions begin on page 8 of the Biomoledules Summary Notes in the chapter called  BIOCHEMISTRY AND CELL COMPOUNDS

We will spend a few days on this important topic and then you will get a test. 

At the end of this unit you can do these review questions .  Our test will include these questions

Review Questions and Their Answers 

in addition, i mentioned in class that you ought to be able to

1. draw each kind of monomer: an amino acid, a monosaccharide, a nucleotide.  Draw an example of an amino acid (glutamate)

2. draw the hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis of monomers , like amino acids making a peptide bond

3.  identify different kinds of biomolecules if you see them 

Memory tricks to remember hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis.  I gave you new lyrics for this abba song. 

Anatomy and Physiology 12: September 3 lesson: Introduction to Biology : Dead or Alive?

 Introductory class  activity: DEAD OR ALIVE

Welcome to Anatomy and Physiology class!  I am away for the first week of school due to a medical issue.  I look forward to seeing you next week.  For your first assignment, I would like you to go outside and find the following objects  Draw them and answer the following questions.  There are no wrong answers for this assignment!  

1.  Find something dead.  How do you know it is dead? 

2.  find something alive.  What is it about this object that makes it alive?

3.  Find something that has never, ever been alive.  What characteristics does this object have that tells you that it is neither dead nor alive?

4. Find something that is not alive, but an important PART of something alive.  Explain your answer

5. What is something that is not alive but a living thing depends upon it to survive? 

6.  Look at your responses and ask yourself:  What are the criteria of being alive? 

7.  Discuss the criteria of living things as a class discussion. Listen to your classmate's responses and summarize them. 

Your teacher will collect your assignments and give you 10 marks for each of your responses.  

Your teacher will make a class roster and assign a mark for all completed responses.

Sept 4 lesson : CELL ORGANELLE REVIEW: parts of a Eukaryotic cell

CELL ORGANELLES  a brief summary    Your teacher will review this summary of the cell.

Watch this video to find out how a VIRUS exploits the cell organelles to hijack the cell and turn it into a virus factory.  

Group Assignment: Build a cell out of lego

There is LEGO in the cupboards under the windows.  Take out this lego and build a cell with all its organelles.  Label the cell and take a photograph of it. You may work in a group of 2 or 3. 

Your teacher will give you a mark out of 5 for your work on this assignment. 

Individual Assignment : Create Study Notes on Cell Organelles and Viruses

Make one page study notes on the following topics

1.  Cell organelles 

2.  How does a virus invade a cell.
