day 2

This what I saw.

Day 2:
Topics covered:

• RNA  
• Protein synthesis
• transciption
• translation
• nutrients
• proteins
• carbs
• lipids
• condensation synthesis
• hydrolysis

PLOs:

C1. demonstrate a knowledge of synthesis and hydrolysis as applied to organic polymers

C2. distinguish among carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids with respect to chemical structure

C3. recognize the empirical formula of a carbohydrate

C4. differentiate among monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides

C5. differentiate among starch, cellulose, and glycogen

C6. list the main functions of carbohydrates

C7. compare and contrast saturated and unsaturated fats in terms of molecular structure

C8. describe the location and explain the importance of the following in the human body: neutral fats, steroids, phospholipids

C10. differentiate among the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure of proteins

C11. list the major functions of proteins

C12. relate the general structure of the ATP molecule to its role as the "energy currency" of cells

E1. demonstrate a knowledge of the basic steps of protein synthesis, identifying the roles of DNA, mRNA, tRNA, and ribosomes in the processes of transcription and translation

E2. determine the sequence of amino acids coded for by a specific DNA sequence, given a table of mRNA codons
