Macromolecule DIRECTIONALITY Function Follows… Direction?
Essential Question(s) 1. How does directionality influence structure and function of the polymer?
Monosaccharides 5 6 4 1 3 2
Alpha vs. Beta Glycosidic Linkages (b) Starch: 1– 4 linkage of glucose monomers (c) Cellulose: 1– 4 linkage of glucose monomers
Adaptations for Herbivory Termites The most famous wood eater of the animal kingdom has a symbiotic relationship with a protist. In exchange for a place to live (the termite gut) the protist does all the cellulose digestion. Ruminants like cows have a vastly expanded upper GI tract. The action of bacteria and continued regurgitation and chewing of “cud” leads to the digestion of cellulose. Caecophores like bunnies have an expanded lower GI tract. Food can not be regurgitated, but there is still a way to get partially digested cellulose back into the animal.

Small Group CFU 1. Spend the next 5 minutes with your partner to revise and annotate your notes using symbols, denoting the importance of the main ideas, underlining or highlighting key terms, or adding explanations or annotations to figures? 2. Be sure to identify content that you missed or were confused about, and clarify these points with your peer. 3. During this time, you must write at least one clarifying or HOT question to pose to the class.
Post-Lecture: Independent Practice 1. Answer the following notes-check questions silently and independently using your notes from the college lecture 2. In your response to each question, capture your explanation in the space indicated.
