Name: ___________________________________________ Period: ____ Date: ____________ Score: _______/18 Biology – Exploring Life – Online Activities for Organic Compounds (18 pts) Complete each activity online and then answer the questions on this paper. Online Activity 5.1 – Examine carbon-based molecules Page 1 1) Describe the main difference between organic and inorganic molecules. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 2 2) Describe the role of water in building polymers. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Online Activity 5.2 – Analyze the role of glucose in life processes 3) What happens when the monkey has more glucose available than is needed for life’s processes? What process occurs? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 4) What happens when the monkey needs the glucose for energy? What process occurs? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Online Activity 5.3 – Explore some properties of lipids Page 1 5) What happens when you try to drag the oil into the water? Explain why this would happen. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 2 6) Why are unsaturated fats liquid at room temperature? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 7) Why are saturated fats solid at room temperature? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 8) What is the main function of the steroid cholesterol? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 9) Compare and contrast the structures of Estradiol (a form of estrogen) and Testosterone. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Online Activity 5.4 – Build amino acid chains 10) What process is used to build amino acid chains? _____________________________________________________ 11) Each 3 letter abbreviation represents a different amino acid. There are 20 different amino acids that join in different ways to make all of the proteins our body needs. What makes one amino acid different from another? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 12) Oxytocin and ADH are two proteins with a similar structure but very different functions. What do the similar structures, but different functions, of oxytocin and ADH illustrate about the importance of the amino acid sequence in proteins? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Online Activity 11.2 – Pair up nucleotide bases Page 1 13) What are the three components of a DNA nucleotide? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 14) What are the names of the 4 possible nitrogen-containing bases? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 15) What type of bond holds nucleotides together between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of another nucleotide? _____________________________________ 16) What type of bond holds together the nucleotide bases of opposite strands? ____________________________ 17) What is the unique pairing pattern between nucleotide bases? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 18) The DNA molecule has a unique structure called the _________________________.
