- Engaging in argument from evidence
- Obtaining, evaluating and communicating information
Monday
Mrs. Trosin out today, but in the building!
Goal for the day -
- Describe, through visual means how proteins are disassembled and reassembled into new proteins through the process of digestion
You and your group are responsible for creating a visual (storyboard, cartoon, diagram, etc) that shows what happens to the food a lion eats. You can use your
packet from last Thursday, the
proteins printed on colored paper (if you want),
and this video to help aid in your understanding. Your visual DOES NOT have to include the specific structures and organs of the digestive system. Your goal is to show what happens, molecularly, to the food eaten. Please include the following terms and phrases in your visual
- Protein from beef
- Amino Acid
- Monomer
- Peptide bond
- Digestion
- Synthesis
- Protein for building the lion (fur, collagen, etc)
- Be sure to show how the original amino acids from the beef wind up in the various lion proteins (fur, collagen etc)
Each person should upload their groups' visual in Google Classroom. There is a question that each of you, individually, will need to answer in addition to adding the visual
Tuesday-Friday
How can we determine the content of food (macromolecules) items found in both herbivore and carnivore diets? You will be designing a procedure to solve this question
- See Google Classroom for problem statement and assignment
QUIZ on Monday
