Presentation on theme: "What types of elements or molecules are important in your body?"— Presentation transcript:

1 What types of elements or molecules are important in your body?
Homework tonight: read/annotate article, answer reading analysis questions

2 In your groups… Predict how much of each biomolecule you need a day
How many grams of sugar? How many grams of carbohydrates? How many grams of fiber? How many grams of fat? How many grams of protein?

3

4 Is that all that is important?

5 Biomolecules Today, we will focus on the 4 main types of biomolecules that have important functions in your body These are sometimes called macromolecules Why? What does macro mean? 1. Carbohydrate 2. Lipids 3. Proteins 4. Nucleic Acids

6 Biomolecules Station Go to each station with your group
Read the article and fill out your table Ask each other for help if you cannot find the answer on your own

7 Biomolecules Twitter Campaign

8 Exit Ticket How does the structure of a lipid affect its function (what it can do)?

9 What is the function of carbohydrates in your body?

10 Molecules Poster Project
Each group will be assigned a molecule You will create a poster that illustrates the structure and function of your molecule Then, we will do a gallery walk and you will fill out an outline of notes for each molecule On your posters be sure to include A drawing of the chemical structure The function of your molecule What types of food it is found in The importance of your molecule to health Any role it plays in disease or disease prevention Examples of its function in various organisms (animals, plants, bacteria) Molecules to pick from: Glucose, cellulose, trans fats, saturated fats, unsaturated fats, lactose
