compounds important to biological structures and
metabolism and their major role(s) in the cell.
 Identify and/or describe the basic molecular
structure of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and/or
nucleic acids.(ALD)
 Create 3D models of each of the biological
macromolecules.
 Describe the primary functions of carbohydrates,
lipids, proteins, and/or nucleic acids in
organisms.(ALD)
 Match the structure of a macromolecule to its correct
function.
 Describe the structures of fatty acids, triglycerides,
phospholipids, and steroids.
 Explain the functions of lipids in living organisms. Identify
some reactions that fatty acids undergo. Relate the
structure and function of cell membranes.
 Compare and contrast the importance of the different
biological macromolecules in an organism.
