In this activity (app. 25 min), a case-study style problem is presented to students (?The Roundup Story") that describes the use of roundup (herbicide) in agriculture, and the development of ?roundup ready? crop strains. The case study approach incorporates a great number of questions, which are designed to guide the students to a clear understanding of how genetically modified organisms (GMOs...

This worksheet contains questions about macromolecules and cellular organelles. The questions allow students to make predictions for some observations and apply concepts for chemistry to macromolecules and cells. Students are also given the opportunity to practice drawing the levels of protein structure as well as different lipids.

This is a worksheet adapted from material posted on CK12.org that introduces students to the four groups of major biological molecules (macromolecules) and the roles they play in the cell. It could be used to prepare students for lecture for biology majors or as a recitation activity for non-majors.
