Unit 2: Chemistry of Life
Learning Targets
Reminder: Use Quizlet to study vocabulary! https://quizlet.com/subject/rippin-biology/
Reminder: For Honors Biology students only.
1.
How is life built?...Chemistry of Life
a. I can explain how the structure of an atom determines the way it bonds.
 (covalent, ionic and hydrogen bonds, polarity, strengths of bonds)
b. I can describe the role of reactants and products in chemical reactions and why chemical reactions occur in the cell.
c. I can explain the relationship between enzymes and activation energy.
d. I can explain how the pH level and temperature affect chemical reactions in the cell.
 (homeostasis)
Vocabulary: matter, atoms, ions, isotopes, elements, activation energy, covalent bonds, ionic bonds, compounds, hydrogen
bonds, molecules, polarity.
2.
How does water affect life on Earth?...Water
a. I can describe the structure of water molecule.
b. I can explain the relationship between hydrogen bonding and the different properties of water that are important for
living things.
c. I can give specific examples of how the different properties of water affect plant and animal life (aquatic and terrestrial).
o (Examples include evaporation, capillary action, density of ice, water as a universal solvent, etc.)
o (Examples include evaporative cooling, capillary action, density of water/ice, universal solvent, high specific heat)
3.
How do four molecules build all living things?...Biochemistry
a. I can list the four main types of macromolecules found in cells and state their functions.
b. I can show the relationship between the four types of macromolecules and the elements and subunits (monomers) that
make them.
c. I can name one/three example(s) of each of the four macromolecules as they are found in cells, organisms and food.
d. I can describe the processes by which polymers are synthesized and broken down.
e. I can demonstrate how metabolism occurs as a series of coupled reactions by drawing a labeled diagram.
f. I can explain how compounds that cycle through living and nonliving factors form macromolecules.
o (water cycle, nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle and phosphorus cycle).
*Revisit LT1c, d.
Vocabulary: dehydration synthesis, hydrolysis, denatured enzyme, active site, abiotic, biotic, biogeochemical cycles
