Unit 3 Review: Biochemistry - Due Thursday 11/7 at 8 am

Learning Targets: I can: 1. Identify the most important elements that make up living organisms and their characteristics. 2. Identify the parts of a chemical reaction in terms of products and reactants. 3. Distinguish between hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds in terms of their location (within a molecule vs. between molecules), and their strength. 4. Distinguish between acids and bases in terms of pH and the amount of H+ and OH- ions present. 5. Explain dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions in terms of reactants, products, and the use of water. 6. Describe the structure of carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins, in terms of their monomer carbon arrangement (ring, chain, branching), the elements present, and the polymer shape. 7. Describe the function of carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins in cells and organisms. 8. Explain the function of enzymes as catalysts in terms of their effect on reactions, specificity (lock and key), and the effect of pH and temperature on their functioning. 9. Explain the structure and importance of enzyme shape in terms of amino acid order, 3D shape, and enzyme reaction specificity (Lock and Key). 10. Describe how the digestive system maintains homeostasis in humans in terms of how it obtains food for the body’s cell. Includes ingestion, mechanical and chemical digestion, and waste elimination.
