•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.

H.W. DUE TOMORROW: Finish all questions on the "Sweet! A Lab on Carbohydrates" activity that we started yesterday and completed today.  For question #6 you need to read this article, "Sweet! What does it all mean?" first, before you answer the question.  Also for #7 make sure that you glue BOTH of the resulting products and also label the products.  If you do not have enough room on the lab worksheet to answer questions #5 & #6 in well thought out complete sentences, then use a separate sheet of paper.

9/25/12

1. Finish notes on carbon (dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis)
2. Spreading Menace Video: George and Weight loss (did not watch in all periods)
3. Building a model of glucose

H.W. Complete the following for your Macromolecule Info Sheet:

• Make sure your notecard (the cardstock picked up in class today) is divided so that you have 4 equal sections (2 sections on each sheet)
• Each section should be labeled with one of each of the 4 major organic macromolecules discussed in class. 
• Next to the labels, include at least 2 colored examples of items that are related. For example, for carbohydrates, you can include a picture of pasta noodles. You may print the pictures out and glue them to your card (from the internet, magazine, etc) OR you may hand draw. 
• In the Carbohydrate Section: draw and color (by hand) a glucose molecule.  Use the colors from today's glucose building activity.  Red = oxygen, White = hydrogen and Black = carbon (include this key).  You must draw circles to illustrate the elements and draw lines to illustrate the bonds.  Here is a good picture of glucose to help you with your illustration.  Also label the picture "Glucose"

The notecard will be graded on NEATNESS, EFFORT, and COMPLETION.
