TABLE OF CONTENTS - Lindbergh School District

Concept B: Cell Transport
Discuss the importance of water for homeostasis (buffer for
body temperature, reactant and product in chemical reactions,
transport, turgor pressure, evaporation of sweat, filler
substance, making or breaking organic compounds, solvent)
Concept A: Organic Compounds
Distinguish among protein, carbohydrate, lipids, and nucleic
acids. Include elemental composition, functions and building
blocks (monosaccharide=glucose, disaccharide=sucrose,
polysaccharide=starch or cellulose, polypeptide, carboxyl
group + amino group=amino acids, peptide bond between
amino acids, nucleotides, fatty acids, glycerol).

Students will list 5 ways water is used
for homeostasis.
(1.5, 1.6, 2.3. SC3)
Students will construct a 4-corner
chart of the four organic compounds.
The chart should include the
elemental composition, functions,
examples, and building blocks with
structural drawing of each building
block.
Students will choose 3 uses for water
and create cartoons illustrating them.
Students will choose 2 organic
compounds and list the elemental
compositions, functions, the building
blocks, and 2 examples and a use of
each.
Concept B: Organic Compounds
Recognize the role of proteins in cell structure and function
(enzyme action, growth and repair of body parts). Examples:
regeneration, protein channels, spindle fibers in mitosis
Concept C: Organic Compounds
Recognize that energy is absorbed or released when breaking
down or synthesizing organic compounds (include monomers
and polymers).
Concept A: Enzymes
Explain how enzymes speed up chemical reactions (substrate,
active site), describe the factors that affect their rate
(temperature, pH), and examples of the roles of enzymes in the
human body (e.g. digestion, catalase).

(1.8, 4.1 SC3)
Students will use catalase from liver
to observe the rate of enzyme activity
under various temperature and pH
conditions.
(1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 3.4, 4.1, 4.4, 4.6, SC3,
SC7)
Students will observe an exothermic
reaction between sulfuric acid and
powdered sugar. (1.6, SC3)
Students will use catalase from liver
to observe the rate of enzyme activity
under various temperature and pH
conditions.
(1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 3.4, 4.1, 4.4, 4.6, SC3,
SC7)
Provide and discuss an example that
demonstrates the importance of
proteins in cell structure and function.
Diagram dehydration synthesis and
hydrolysis of a given organic
compound and indicate the direction
of the flow of energy for each
reaction.
Evaluate a graph to indicate the
optimum range for enzyme activity
and a possible IV.
