11. ENERGY We eat to get energy to live and THRIVE!!!!!! What else do we eat? –Meat=Protein –Nuts= Fats or lipids –Fruits/veggies/bread= Carbohydrates Biomolecules

12. 4 Biomolecules or Macromolecules Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids or Fats Nucleic Acids Let’s Investigate Each Group

13. “Houston We Have a Problem” You are a doctor at a clinic in Round Rock and a patient has come to you with a problem. The patient is 25 and eats healthy(including proteins, fats or lipids, and carbohydrates) in order to maintain good health, but they are failing to thrive. After you examine the patient you find that they are malnourished.

14. Use your understanding of biology and any data collected over the course of the next several days to propose three explanations for this person’s condition. We will revisit this scenario at the end of this unit.

15. This is a molecule of fructose or sugar from an apple. Sugar is a carbohydrate. Let’s Review
