Task 3

• Produce a written report comparing both the physical and chemical properties of the following functional groups in biological molecules, and explain their similarities and differences

  ·        Ethanol

  ·        Ethanoic acid

  ·        Ethylamine

What to include

• Choose 3 physical properties

• Chemical properties - reactivity

CLEAR COMPARISON!

• X has a higher boiling point than Y & Z because of

• Rather than

• X has a boiling point of 10. Y has a boiling point of 5.

Task 5

• Produce a written report on both feline and rabbit nutrition which assesses the effects of having a deficiency or excess in the following nutritional biological molecules:

  
  

  ·        Carbohydrates

  ·        Fibre

  ·        Lipids

  ·        Proteins & amino acids

  ·        Vitamins & Minerals

  ·        Water

We are looking at what happens if there is too much or too little of a nutrient in the body

Rather than how did the animal consume an excess or not enough of a nutrient

Be concise!

• You only have 1 side of A4 per animal and 7 nutrients to cover

• Use feedback from the water task

• Link to the animals diet where possible

• i.e. felines may naturally consume an excess of protein, whereas with rabbits this is possibly linked to poor husbandry or disease

Take advantage!

• You can submit 1 more paragraph of this task for feedback

• Deadline - Friday 22nd.

Task 6

• Produce a scientific summary evaluating the nutritional importance of the biological molecules in both cats and rabbits.

  
  

  Things to consider are:

  Ø The links between the structure of the biological molecules and how they interact with the body of each animal.

  Ø How important/necessary are the biological molecule to each animal.

  Ø How each of the animal uses the biological molecule to maintain normal functioning.

Ø How each of the animal uses the biological molecule to maintain normal functioning.

• Apply the function of each to its function!

• Proteins are used to create hormones - hormones are required for normal functioning!

Ø The links between the structure of the biological molecules and how they interact with the body of each animal.

• How do monosaccharides interact with the body? ENERGY! Polysaccharides? STORAGE ENERGY!

• How do phospholipids interact with the body? CELL STRUCTURE

Ø How important/necessary are the biological molecule to each animal.

How important is fibre to a rabbit?

How important is protein to a cat?

Does either species have any amino acids their body cannot synthesise?
