LEARNING PROGRESSIONS

● I understand the role of carbon in living organisms and the 4 macromolecules. ● I understand the function of each biological macromolecule.

Bio 2.1 Construct and explanation based on evidence that all organisms are primarily composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, and that the matter taken into an organism is broken down and recombined to make macromolecules necessary for life functions. ​ Emphasize that molecules are often transformed through enzymatic processes and the atoms involved are used to make carbohydrates, proteins, fats/lipids and nucleic acids.
