Lesson 5: Structure and Function of biological macromolecules
Duration of Days: 3
Lesson Objective
Evaluate how the structural arrangement and monomer composition of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids directly determine their chemical properties and cellular functions.
Why does a change in the primary structure of a protein (a single amino acid substitution) sometimes completely destroy its tertiary structure, while other times it has no effect?
How does the antiparallel nature of DNA structure provide a mechanical advantage for accurate replication?
1.5 Structure & Function of Biological Macromolecules
