How do professional athletes fuel their bodies? USdpg USdpg Average Person: 2,000 calorie diet What would happen if these athletes stopped competing and kept eating the same way? Which biomolecules did the athletes consume most? Why do you think that?
QR Code Gallery Walk Working with a partner, you will identify 15 different structures as either a carbohydrate, protein, lipid, of nucleic acid After finishing your IDs, you will go to the hallway and use the QR codes to check your work – highlight and correct incorrect answers Answer critical thinking questions at the bottom of the page
Identifying Biomolecules Using Reagents While the gallery walk is ongoing, 2 groups at a time (4 students) will come to the demo table You will run through a few tests to see how you can identify a protein, lipid, and carbohydrate within a substance Pre-Lab for next class: Need notebooks for pre-lab notes!
