This resource includes two modules on the topic of DNA as the genetic material. These include the following: DNA Discovery and Structure DNA Replication Content modules include videos, articles, figures, and illustrations, though the majority are videos. Users/students can also ask questions at the end of each module, and a the community of users have the option to volunteer answers to...
This module provides a "skill check" with questions for students to gauge their general understanding of the major classes of biological macromolecules. Also contained are five content modules on the following: Macromolecules (introduction) Carbohydrates Lipids Nucleic Acids Proteins Content modules include videos, articles, figures, and illustrations, though the majority are...
Macromolecules are the biological name for nutrients that are in our food. These nutrients are critical for basic cell functions. We know that we must eat to maintain a healthy body. In BIO 1113, we learn the roles of the macromolecules in cell function. Tying together the macromolecules to something as simple as a Snickers Bar may help to make connections to the importance of the...
This site adds new molecular entries each month, and each entry is archived so they can be viewed at any time. Visitors to the site can see a detailed drawing of the molecule and a description of the molecule that includes information about its structure and biological function and its human applications.
This is a worksheet adapted from material posted on CK12.org that introduces students to the four groups of major biological molecules (macromolecules) and the roles they play in the cell. It could be used to prepare students for lecture for biology majors or as a recitation activity for non-majors.
