Chemistryof Life
California StateStandards for the Chemistry of Life:
1b. Students knowenzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions without altering thereaction equilibrium and the activities of enzymes depend on the temperature,ionic conditions, and the pH of the surroundings.
1h. Students know most macromolecules (polysaccharides,nucleic acids, proteins, lipids) in cells and organisms are synthesized from asmall collection of precursors.
4e. Students know proteins can differ from oneanother in the number and sequences of amino acids.
5a. Students know the general structures andfunctions of protein.
Unit Objectives:
1. Explain the structure of atoms and how they bond.
2. Explain the functions of the 4 major macromolecules.
3. Identify the monomers of the 4 major macromolecules.
4. Explain how the 4 major macromolecules are formed.
5. Explain how enzymes work.
6. Identify what factors influence an enzymes effectiveness.
