Journal Entry:
What is an example of how structure determine function in the concepts we have studied so far this year? How do the ideas from this unit connect to each of the big ideas of biology?

Learning Intentions

We will learn how different structures within group of polymers can influence different functions and can apply to real life molecules.

You can create a concept map making connections between ideas in the unit.

You can make connections between concepts that you have learned this unit to each Big Idea of Biology.

Closing Task:

You can apply what you have learned about biological molecules to explore a real world example of one of the types of molecules.
