 1. WU: Lipid Self Quiz
2. Review "Fats- fitting them into a health diet" article
3. Notes: Nucleic Acids

H.W. DUE TOMORROW: Dive into the gene pool worksheet (this is on the back of your notes)
AND
The Lipid portion of your macromolecule info sheet (card stock):

•List the elements (as identified in the periodic table) that are found in all lipids.

•Write the word “Fats”

–Under this heading hand draw a molecular picture of a fat molecule (p. 47).  Label the Glycerol and the 3 Fatty Acid Tails.  Under your drawing write the function of fat molecules.

–Hand draw a saturated fatty acid tail.  Under the saturated fatty acid tail draw (or print) in color a picture of a food item that contains saturated fats.

–Hand draw an unsaturated fatty acid tail.  Under the unsaturated fatty acid tail draw (or print) in color a picture of a food item that contains unsaturated fats.

•Write the word “Phospholipids”

–Under your Phospholipids heading, hand draw a picture of a phospholipid (p. 204).  Label the phosphate head and the fatty acid tails.  Under your drawing write the function of phospholipids in your body.

•Write the word “Sterols”

–Under your Sterol heading, hand draw a molecular picture of a sterol (the 4 ringed fused structure from your notes.  Under your drawing write the  functions of  sterols in your body and give 2 examples. 

Congratulations!  That concludes the lipid section of you macromolecule info sheet.

DUE WEDNESDAY: The Nucleic acid portion of your macromolecule info sheet (card stock):

•List the elements (as identified in the Periodic Table) that are found in all nucleic acids

•Hand draw a picture of a nucleotide (p. 48- the same one as the one you drew on your notes).  Label this picture “Nucleic Acid Monomer- Nucleotide”.  On this picture label the phosphate, sugar and nitrogenous base

•Hand draw a picture of DNA (p. 348). Label this picture, “Nucleic Acid Polymer- Deoxyribonucleic Acid”  Under the picture, describe the function of DNA

•Hand draw a picture of RNA (p. 363- draw the mRNA). Label this picture, “Nucleic Acid Polymer- Ribonucleic Acid” Under the picture, describe the function of RNA.

Congratulations!  That concludes the nucleic acid section of you macromolecule info sheet.
