Biology STAAR Power Hour
Day 1

By the end of this lesson, I'll be able to explain what carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids do in our bodies and how enzymes help speed up chemical reactions.

Objective:

5A: Relate the functions of different types of biomolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, to the structure and function of a cell.

Biomolecules

Labeling

Correctly label the following structures of biomolecules.

Drag labels to their correct position on the image

Protein

Lipid

Nucleic Acid

Carbohydrate

Match

Match the following functions with its correct biomolecule.

Short term energy, main structural co

Long term energy, insulation, chemica

Storage, transport, speeds up chemica

Stores genetic information.

Carbohydrate

Lipid

Protein

Nucleic Acid

Multiple Choice

Actin is a protein that helps the cell maintain its shape and polarity. It also plays a major role in muscle construction. A table summarizing the cellular functions of different types of proteins is shown. Based on this information, actin is most likely -

an enzyme protein

a structural protein

a messenger protein

a transport protein

Hotspot

A student athlete wants to choose a drink that will provide quick energy for track practice. Which portion of the label should provide the athlete with information about the amount of quick energy in the drink?

11B: investigate and explain the role of enzymes in facilitating cellular processes.

Enzymes

Labeling

Label the following enzyme substrate complex diagram.

Drag labels to their correct position on the image

Active Site

Enzyme Substrate Complex

Enzyme

Substrate

Enzyme (to be reused)

Products

Hotspot

Put a point on the highest effective level of the enzyme.

Multiple Choice

Rennin is an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction that solidifies milk. Rennin was added to three different test tubes with milk. Each test tube was placed in a water bath for ten minutes. The data collected during the experiment are shown. Which statement best explains the results of test tube 3?

The enzyme changed the product

The substrate was used up

The enzyme was denatured

The substrate reacted with the enzyme

Multiple Choice

Enzymes are biological catalysts and function by:

increasing free energy in a system

lowering the activation energy of a reaction causing the reaction to speed up

eliminating entropy in a system

increasing temperature near a reaction
