Biomolecules
Standard BIO1.LS1.5
Research examples that demonstrate the functional variety of proteins and construct an argument based on evidence for the importance of the molecular structure to its function. Plan and carry out a controlled investigation to test predictions about factors, which should cause an effect on the structure and function of a protein.
Explanation
Focus of this standard is on the activities of proteins and the role of the structure of proteins in carrying out these activities. Students can be reminded of the concept of reversible and irreversible changes addressed in earlier physical science standards. Investigations might include the effect of amylase activity on a starch substrate as a function of varying temperature or another independent variable. Roles of proteins include cellular regulation, cell signaling, enzymatic function, and structural components
