Unit 2: Biochemistry

SB1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to analyze the nature of the relationships between structures and functions in living cells.

C. Construct arguments supported by evidence to relate the structure of macromolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids) to their interactions in carrying out cellular processes. (Clarification statement: The function of proteins as enzymes is limited to a conceptual understanding.)
