Unit 1: BiochemistryAP Honors 2019-2020Standards: SYI-1.A Explain how the properties of water that result from its polarity and hydrogen bonding affect its biological functionENE-1.A Describe the composition of macromolecules required by living organisms. SYI-1.B Describe the properties of the monomers and the type of bonds that connect the monomers in biological macromolecules. SYI-1.C Explain how a change in the subunits of a polymer may lead to changes in structure or function of the macromolecule.IST-1.A Describe the structural similarities and differences between DNA and RNA. Students should master these vocabulary/concepts: Properties of Water: polar covalent bonds, polar molecule, cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, kinetic energy, thermal energy, temperature, specific heat, heat of vaporization, evaporative cooling, solution, solvent, solute, aqueous solution, hydrophilic, hydrophobic, molecular mass, molarity, hydrogen ion (H+), hydroxide ion (OH-), hydronium ion (H3O+), acid, base, pH, buffer, ocean acidificationImportance of Carbon: Organic chemistry, valence, hydrocarbons, isomers, structural isomers, cis-trans isomers, enantiomers, functional groupsMacromolecules: macromolecules, polymer, monomer, enzymes, dehydration reaction, hydrolysis, monosaccharides, disaccharide, glyosidic linkage, polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, cellulose, chitin, lipid, fat, fatty acid, saturated fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid, trans fat, phospholipid, steroids, cholesterol, catalyst, polypeptide, protein, amino acid, peptide bond, primary structure, secondary structure, α helix, β pleated sheet, tertiary structure, hydrophobic interaction, disulfide bridges, quaternary structure, sickle cell disease, denaturation, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), gene expression, nucleotide, pyrimidine, purine, double helix, antiparallel, Campbell Biology 11th Edition – your notes are a fabulous resource that you MUST study/review in order to find success, but the textbook is also a great place to go to get a more comprehensive outline of each topic. Chapter 3 – Water and Life Chapter 4 – Carbon and the Molecular Diversity of Life Chapter 5 – The Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules Content Review Videos: In addition to reading your textbook and reviewing your notes from class, it is a good idea to watch the following videos to deepen/reinforce understanding of each topic covered in the biochemistry unit. Another good resource are the AP Bio Crash Course Videos (not listed below, but found easily with a Google search).Chemical Bonds (review) - Water Properties - Acids, Bases, and pH - Macromolecules – Proteins - Name: _______________________________________ Date: ___________________ Pd: ___________IsheeLevel 1Level 2Level 3Level 4AP Biology Students will be able to:With help, partial success at score 2.0 content & score 3.0 contentIdentify vital vocab (page 1)Identify the properties of water.Draw and Identify the monomers of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, & nucleic acids Identify the basic structure and examples of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids Distinguish between polar and nonpolar interactionsExplain how the properties of water that result from polarity and hydrogen bonding affect its biological function.Describe the composition of macromolecules required by living organisms. Describe how macromolecules are synthesized and broken down by comparing and contrasting hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis.Describe the properties of the monomers and type of bonds that connect the monomers in biological macromolecules. Explain how a change in the subunits of a polymer may lead to changes in structure or function of the macromolecule. Compare and contrast the structure of DNA and RNAResearch ways that macromolecules and enzymes are used for the advancement of biotechnology and design a solution to something that can be used in everyday life.Student Assignments/ AssessmentsHere is how I will show what I know!Do I know the vital vocab?
