Learning Targets: Unit 2—Chemistry of life

Science Practices (SP) The student can…

SP1 use representations & models to communicate scientific phenomena & solve sci problems. SP2 use mathematics appropriately. SP3 engage in scientific questioning to extend thinking or to guide investigations within the context of the AP course. SP4 plan and implement data collection strategies appropriate to a particular scientific question. SP5 perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence. SP6 can work with scientific explanations and theories. SP7 connect and relate knowledge across various scales, concepts, and representations in and across domains.

Big Ideas (BI) & Linked Enduring Understandings (EU) & Essential Knowledge (EK) BI 1: The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life. EU 1C: Life Continues to evolve within a changing environment EK1C3: Populations of organisms continue to evolve. (for Bio in Focus section 2.1, example of evolution of resistance of plants to heavy metals &technological applications of these for bioremediation)

BI 2: Biological systems use free energy & molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce, & maintain dynamic homeostasis. EU 2A: Growth, organization, & maintenance of living systems require free energy & matter.

EK2A2: Organisms capture and store free energy for use in biological processes. (storage/release of chemical potential energy of covalent bonds of organic compounds, activation energy, exergonic catabolic processes, endergonic anabolic processes, carbohydrates & lipids as molecules most commonly used for energy storage & release) EK2A3: Organisms must exchange matter with the environment to grow, reproduce, and maintain organization. (C, N, & P biogeochemical cycling related to synthesis & decomposition of organic compounds—carbohydrates & lipids for C, nucleic acids for N & P, and proteins for N, energy transfer from ATP for P) (properties of water and the importance of Hydrogen bonding, cycling of water in ecosystems; role of water in allowing chemical reactions and homeostasis of cells and ecosystems)

BI 3: Living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes. EU 3A: Heritable information provides for continuity of life. EK3A1b: DNA & RNA structure (chemical structure of A, T, C, G, & U & of ribonucleotides versus deoxyribonucleotides, C numbering in nucleotides) EK3A3: Chromosomal theory explains transfer of genes from parents to offspring. (Hydrogen bonding as basis for complementary base pairing during DNA & RNA synthesis)

BI 4: Biological systems interact, & these systems & their interactions possess complex properties. EU 4A: Interactions within biological systems lead to complex properties. EK4A1: The subcomponents of biological molecules and their sequence determines the properties of that molecule. (functional groups and structural formulas of monosaccharides, amino acids, nucleotides, fatty acids, steroids) (monomers and polymers and dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis) (geometric and structural isomers, in particular relative to lipids) (hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds, especially for fats, phospholipids, steroids, amino acids, and protein folding) EK4A2: Structure & function of subcellular compartments & their interactions provide essential cellular processes. (hydrophobic/hydrophobic interactions in determining which compartment houses a particular protein; modification of tertiary structure of proteins by phosphorylation or changes in concentrations of ions or pH; quarternary structures of proteins and their roles in metabolic pathway or signaling regulation) EU 4B: Competition and cooperation are important aspects of biological systems. EK4B1: Interactions between molecules affect their structure and function. (enzymes and their actions, metabolic pathways, feedback regulation) EK4B2: Cooperative interactions within organisms promote efficiency in their use of energy and matter. (different enzymes present in organelles or organs, signal pathways) Vocabulary Elements compounds atom Nucleus Disulfide bridge
