This unit lays the molecular foundation of biology. Students explore the structure and behavior of water, elements essential to life, and the formation of macromolecules. The big idea: structure determines function. We’ll dive into how monomers link into polymers and how those structures define what they do in living systems. This is the base for everything else we’ll cover, so nerd out on your hydrogen bonding and don’t mix up your proteins and protons.
