Students know large molecules (polymers),
such as proteins, nucleic acids, and starch, are
formed by repetitive combinations of simple
subunits.
Students know amino acids are the building
blocks of proteins.
Students know the bonding characteristics of
carbon that result in the formation of a large
variety of structures ranging from simple
hydrocarbons to complex polymers and
biological molecules.
