Minds On
Technological
applications that
affect biological
processes and
cellular functions
are used in the
food,
pharmaceutical,
and medical
industries.
Big Ideas
Biological
molecules and
their chemical
properties
affect cellular
processes and
biochemical
reactions.
Big Ideas
Biochemical
compounds
play important
structural and
functional roles
in cells of all
living
organisms
Big Ideas
B1. Analyse technological applications of enzymes in some industrial processes,
and evaluate technological advances in the field of cellular biology;
B2. Investigate the chemical structures, functions,
and chemical properties of biological molecules
involved in some common cellular
processes and biochemical
reactions;
 B3. Demonstrate an understanding of the
structures and functions of biological
molecules, and the biochemical reactions
required to maintain normal cellular
function.
Week 1: From Bread to Sugar
B1.2 evaluate, on the basis of research, some
advances in cellular biology and related
technological applications
Blood Typing
B3.2 Describe the structure of
important biochemical compounds,
including carbohydrates,
proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids,
and explain their function within cells
Misconceptions Blood Typing
 note a potential common misconception:
students may get confused with the issue of whether
your blood type refers to the antigens or the
antibodies you carry – so type A could be thought of
as a person that has anti-A antibodies versus anti-A
antigens, also which are on the blood cell and which
are in the plasma: the antigens or the antibodies?
Antibodies are normally not static, rather moving,
traveling, versus antigens that are generally static,
attached.
Week 2: From Lipids to DNA
Misconceptions: DNA
 DNA can only be changed through mutagenesis

of important biochemical
compounds, including
carbohydrates, proteins, lipids,
and nucleic acids, and explain
their function within cells
History: A Case Study

Week 3: The Implications of Protein.
Recent Development
B3. demonstrate an
understanding of the structures
and functions of biological
molecules, and the biochemical
reactions required to maintain normal
cellular function.
 B1. analyse technological applications
of enzymes in some industrial
processes, and evaluate
technological advances in the

STSE
 B1.1 analyse technological applications related to
enzyme activity in the food and
pharmaceutical industries
 An understanding of metabolic processes enables
people to make informed choices with respect
to a range of personal, societal, and environmental
issues.
Week 4: Enzymes at Work
Wet Lab: Enzymes

B2.5 plan and conduct an investigation related to a cellular
process (e.g., factors that affect enzyme activity; factors that affect
transport of substances across cell membranes), using appropriate
laboratory equipment and techniques, and report the results in an
appropriate format
