Understanding Biomolecules: Carbohydrates and Lipids in Living Organisms

In this lesson, students will engage with partners to discuss biomolecules, focusing on carbohydrates and lipids. They will explore which biomolecule contains the most energy and the reasons for this. Through notes and hands-on activities, students will build a carbohydrate and a lipid, analyzing their structures and functions. Key concepts include the composition and roles of these organic molecules in living things. Students will also learn about elements such as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, essential for understanding these biomolecules.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Happy Monday!

  2. Bellwork: • Turn to your partner and talk about the following questions: • What biomolecule contains the most energy? (Think about your project with the meal) • Why do you think it has the most energy?

  3. CO: I will understand and identify the structure and function of a carbohydrate.LO: I will write notes and build a carbohydrate.

  4. Notes: Biomolecules • Biomolecules are the molecules found in all living things. • Biomolecules are organic compounds. • Organic compound contain the element carbon (C) • All living things contain carbon • A substance without carbon is called inorganic Elements to know: C = carbon N = nitrogen H = hydrogen P = phosphorus O = oxygen

  5. Making a Carbohydrate: • What monomer did you build? • What elements are present in your monomer? • How does the structure of your monomer allow it to complete its function?

  6. Happy Tuesday!

  7. Happy Tuesday!Bellwork:1. Copy the Venn diagram below.2. Write and answer this question: Lipids are an organic molecule. What does this mean?

  8. CO: I will analyze and compare the structure and function of a carbohydrate and a lipid. LO: I will write notes. I will build a carbohydrate and a lipid.

  9. Structure: Functions: • Main source of immediate energy • Circle or ring shaped • Create a 1:2:1 ratio Elements: Good to know: • Often known as simple (monomers) and complex (polymers) • C, H, O Carbohydrate Monomer: Polymer: • Polysaccharide • Examples: starch, cellulose • Monosaccharide • Examples: glucose, sucrose

  10. Structure: Functions: • Source for long term energy • Primary component of the cell membrane • Chain shaped • A backbone and 3 tails Good to know: Elements: • Saturated fats: contain single bonds • Unsaturated fats: contain double bonds • C, H, O Lipids Monomer: Polymer: • Triglyceride (lipid) • Fatty acids

  11. Glucose

  12. Fructose

  13. Glycerol

  14. Fatty Acid

  15. Making a Lipid: • What kind of lipid did you make, saturated or unsaturated? How do you know? • What elements are in the lipids? • The glycerol in a lipid is often referred to as the glycerol backbone. Why do you think that is? 4. How does the structure of a lipid determine its function?
