Sub:  Mr. Adriance

1.  Notes: Carbohydrates
2. Work on the carbohydrate section of your info sheet (this is due tomorrow!)

H.W. The following 3 items are due on TOMORROW:
1. Organic Molecules Vocab Assignment Part I

 Click on the link below to watch a 15 minute video on biological molecules:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8WJ2KENlK0
Take notes while you are watching the video on each of the three (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) macromolecules discussed. Title each section of the notes you take with the appropriate macromolecule name and underline, highlight or color the name.

Now create a table to include all of the following for each new vocabulary term discussed today in class: The vocabulary term, the definition or meaning of the term, a picture illustrating the meaning of the term and a word association or trick to help you remember the meaning of the term.
Here are the vocabulary terms: 
1. Organic
2. Macromolecule
3. Metabolism
4. Catabolism
5. Anabolism
6. Monomer
7. Polymer
8. Polymerization
9. Dehydration Synthesis (aka Condensation Reaction)
10. Hydrolysis

2. Complete the following for your Macromolecule Info Sheet:

• Make sure your info sheet (the cardstock that I handed out in class today) is divided so that you have 4 equal sections (2 sections on each side)
• 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 them (which I prefer).  Either way, the pictures must be in COLOR.   Do not make your pictures too big!  You will be given further instructions on what else will be required to go into each section.  Make this look neat and effort filled!!!
• Draw and color (by hand) a glucose molecule.  Use these colors: 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.  Label the molecular picture of glucose “Carbohydrate Monomer: Monosaccharide. Example: Glucose”
  

  •  Draw by hand (& color) a molecular picture of starch.  Label this picture “Carbohydrate Polymer- Polysaccharide. Example: Starch”  (you can draw the picture from your notes, which is also in your book)
  •  List the elements that are found in all carbohydrates
  • For each of the following identify and hand draw (in color) a picture of the type of organisms that produces the polysaccharide.  Also write whether or not the polysaccharide is used for energy storage or structural support.  (for example: you should title your first picture “Starch”, draw an organism that produces starch and then write that starch is used for energy storage)
  
  
  o   Starch
  o   Cellulose
  o   Glycogen
  o   Chitin 

3.  Have your parents complete the quiz that you created for them.
