J. Wellington Wimpy (from unit 2, learning activity 2)Compare 1 meal of Wimpy’s before his transformation (burger meal) to 1 meal of his after his transformation (sub meal). For each meal (before and after), list the ingredients that were likely in his meal. Then compare the macromolecules available in each meal.Explain how these macromolecules break down in the body for energy. Include diagrams in your description. What are the major differences between the two meals? Is the turkey sub a healthier meal when looking at the macromolecules available?Provide some tips for Wimpy to make his meals even healthier.2. Lactose intolerance (from unit 2, learning activity 4)Explain to Carol what is happening in her body – what does it mean to be lactose intolerant? Explain this using biology terms and concepts learned in this unit. Why does her doctor recommend that she eats yogurt?3. Hydration and dehydration (from unit 2, learning activity 5)Who was correct? Ellie’s father or mother? Explain the process of getting wrinkly skin and how you know they were correct. Is what happens to skin in an ocean vs. a freshwater lake different or the same? Explain this using concepts and terms learned in this unit.Part 2: Putting it all togetherYou will now put everything that you have learned in the three case studies together to present the cases. You may choose how you will present the cases. You may write a report, write a series of short stories, create comics, create a slide deck, create a video, create infographics and visuals, etc. You may be as creative as you like, just be sure to review the success criteria so that you include all the important concepts and requirements. For any diagrams needed you may draw or use appropriate images you find on the internet. If using images from the internet, be sure that they are appropriate and serve the purpose to explain the concept well. Sources of all images must be included.When you are ready, submit your presentation of all three cases. You should include your rough notes on the case studies as well.Submission instructions:When you are ready, submit your assessment for feedback and a grade by selecting the “Assignments” link and following the submission directions.Case Study #1: J. Wellington WimpyExplain using words and diagrams the structure of carbohydratesDemonstrate understanding of monomers and polymers in carbohydratesExplain using words and diagrams the structure of proteinsDemonstrate understanding of monomers and polymers in proteinCompare primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures of proteinExplain using words and diagrams the structure of fatsCompare and identify condensation (dehydration) and hydrolysis reactionsDescribe the functions of carbohydrates, proteins and fats in cells and organismsIdentify some functional groups found in carbohydrates, proteins and fatsCase Study #2: Lactose IntoleranceExplain how enzymes work to speed up reactionsExplain the induced fit model of how enzymes workDescribe how enzymes are regulated (activated and inhibited)Case Study #3: Hydration and DehydrationExplain how osmosis works including the concept of concentration gradientCompare passive and active transportDescribe the fluid-mosaic model of the cell membrane and how it results in a semi-permeable membrane (and what that means)For all three case studiesDemonstrate initiating and planning skills and strategies with appropriateness (planning and organizing presentation of case studies)Demonstrate use of processing skills and strategies with relevance (to take scientific content and make it flow into relevant information for case studies)Demonstrate use of critical/creative thinking processes, skills and strategies with flexibility (to take knowledge of content and assess and evaluate real life situations)Demonstrate expression and organization of ideas and information with logic (across the presentation)Demonstrate use of conventions, vocab, terminology with fluency in presentationDemonstrate application of knowledge and skills in familiar contexts with flexibility (taking information from learning activities and applying to similar situations within case studies)Draw conclusions based on inquiry results and research findings, and justify their conclusions with reference to scientific knowledge
