Reading Guide Questions:

(DUE Friday, September 9th by 10PM)

Please answer the following questions from 2.1- Molecules to Metabolism - (Pages 61 - 67 )

Exercises:
One way to check whether organic molecules are correctly is to
make a sketch based on the information given and then count the
number of atoms of each element using a given or know formula.
Draw each of the molecules described below and then check each
against the formula given in the answer
[A] Sketch a single carbon atom, add an alcohol group, fill in
with hydrogens. Give the formula of the molecule.
[B]Sketch a single carbon atom, add an amine group, add a
carboxyl group, fill with hydrogens. Give the formula of the
molecule.
Give the products of each of the following reactions:
[A] The complete hydrolysis of a starch molecule
[B] The condensation reaction between glucose and galactose.
[C] The complete hydrolysis of a triglyceride lipid.
Briefly describe the two aspects of metabolism

Answer Below:

(1) [Please upload you answer to A and B below]

(2) [ Please write the reactions below for A - C]
(3)
Anabolism- builds monomers into large molecules and use ATP to power this process.
Catabolism- breaks down macromolecules into smaller molecules, and releases energy, but ATP is
caught and is used for energy in the cell.

REVIEW: After reading the section in your Pearson IB Biology textbook, watch the following YouTube Recap
