 * Guiding Activity: A Macromolecule Mystery Webquest**
 * URL of WebQuest:** @http://questgarden.com/129/33/5/110721183624/

-What are the functions of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins in our bodies? -What is metabolism?
 * Guided Questions:**


 * Standards: **
 * 3.1.12.A2.** Evaluate how **organisms** must derive energy from their environment or their food in order to survive.
 * 3.1.12.A5.** Analyze how structure is related to function at all levels of biological organization from **molecules** to **organisms**.
 * 3.1.B.A7.** Analyze the importance of carbon to the structure of biological macromolecules.Compare and contrast the functions and structures of proteins, lipids,carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
 * 3.1.B.A8.** Demonstrate the repeating patterns that occur in biological polymers.

A crime has been committed! Someone smashed Phil " PizzaMan" Potts' prize- winning pizza during the best recipe contest at the state fair. Fortunately, the CSI team discovered a footprint at the scene. Apparently someone tracked through the pizza sauce while they were making their getaway. Three suspects that had red substances on their shoes have been taken into custody. You will need to learn about the different organic macromolecules and how scientists test for them in this webquest to crack this case. Goodluck.
 * Task:**

[|Webquest Worksheets.pdf]

1. Visit the website [] and answer the questions about polymers on the webquest worksheets. 2. Watch the following video clips about carbohydrates, lipids, andproteins from Standard Deviants. Please watch the clips in order. As you watch the clips, answer the questions about these molecules in your webquest worksheets.

3. Visit the website [|http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_body/body_basics/metabolism.html#]and answer the questions about metabolism on the webquest worksheets.

1. Visit the website [].Click on the Organic Molecules tab. Complete the online labs for testing carbohydrates, testing fats (lipids), testing proteins, and testing foods for different macromolecules, following the directions on screen for each lab. Collect the information and answer the questions about each lab on the webquest worksheets.
 * Part 2: Testing Methods for Macromolecules in Food**

1. Read the statements taken from each of thesubjects provided in the webquest worksheets.. Additionally, examine the data table of the macromolecules tests done on each of the substances from the suspects’ shoes. Using this information determine what the substances are on each of the suspect’s shoes and identify the person who smashed the pizza. Once you have done this, fill out the arrest warrant,supporting your choice with the thought process and evidence that led you to your conclusion.
