Molecules
This molecule is found by breaking down starch.
Glucose
This body system breaks down larger molecules
Digestive System
This is a characteristic that all organisms of a specific species have.
feature
The ________ of a protein molecule refers to its shape.
structure
These molecules can be used for growth and repair of cells.
protein molecules
This body system delivers molecules to all the cells of the body.
Circulatory System
this is a specific characteristic of an individual organism.
trait
The ________ of a protein molecule refers to how it works or what it does.
function
These molecules are used for cellular respiration.
BONUS: What do we get from cellular respiration?
Glucose & Oxygen
BONUS: ENERGY!!!!
This system is affected if someone is not getting enough oxygen molecules into their body.
Respiratory System
Write down an example of a feature.
Eye color, hair color, hair texture, skin color, nose shape, etc.
True or False: The structure of a protein molecule will determine its function.
True
A _______ ________ is where molecules are broken down and then rearranged to form new molecules. Cellular Respiration is an example of this.
Chemical Reaction
Why would someone who is not getting enough oxygen to their cells have trouble growing and repairing new cells?
Oxygen is needed for cellular respiration which releases energy. That energy is used to combine amino acids into proteins which are used for growth and repair of cells.
Write down an example of a trait.
brown eyes, black hair, straight hair, freckles, etc.
What are traits determined by?
Protein molecule structure
Put these in order:
A: Glucose and Oxygen combine
B: Cells can grow and repair
C: Proteins are formed.
D: Energy is released.
E: Amino Acids combine
A: Glucose and Oxygen combine
D: Energy is released.
E: Amino Acids combine
C: Proteins are formed.
B: Cells can grow and repair
Why would someone be tired if their body is not breaking down large molecules into smaller molecules?
This would mean that their body would not be able to break down starch into glucose which is needed for cellular respiration.
Daniel and Zoe both have a type of hair. Daniel has curly hair and Zoe has straight hair.
What is the feature and what is the trait?
Feature: Hair type
Trait: Curly hair or Straight hair
Pariis has brown hair but Everett has blond hair.
What could be causing their trait to be different?
The structure of their protein molecules.
