CER Model
This part of CER states your answer to a scientific question
What is a Claim?
This macromolecule is the body's main source of quick energy.
What are carbohydrates?
Lipids are used by the body mainly for this purpose.
What is energy storage
Proteins help build and repair these.
What are body tissues or muscles?
This macromolecule stores genetic information.
What are nucleic acids?
This part of CER uses facts, observations, or data to support your claim.
What is Evidence?
Bread, pasta, and rice are rich in this macromolecule.
What are carbohydrates?
Butter, oils, and avocados are examples of foods high in these.
What is Lipids or fats
Meat, eggs, beans, and nuts are good sources of this macromolecule.
What is protein
DNA and RNA belong to this group.
What are Nucleic Acids
This part of CER explains how the evidence supports the claim.
What is Reasoning?
The elements found in carbohydrates are these three.
What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?
Lipids provide this type of energy storage.
What is extra energy storage or what is long term energy storage
Proteins are made of these smaller building blocks.
What are amino acids?
DNA and RNA belong to this group.
What are nucleotides
The three parts of the CER model are these.
What are Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning?
What does carbohydrates break down into?
What is glucose or sugar.
This structure surrounding cells is made largely of lipids.
What is cell membrane
Enzymes belong to this macromolecule group.
What are proteins?
DNA stands for this.
What is Deoxyribonucleic Acid?
"Plants need sunlight to grow because they use it to make food." This is an example of this CER component.
What is Reasoning?
This process allows plants to make carbohydrates using sunlight.
What is Photosynthesis.
True or False: Lipids dissolve easily in water
False
This body structure is mainly made from the protein keratin.
What are hair and nails?
RNA stands for
What is Ribonucleic acid
