Two foods can contain similar calories but behave very differently in water and digestion models.
Learning target
Build an initial model and explanation for: How does molecular structure constrain biological function?
Evidence task
Record observations, questions, an initial model, and one claim that could be tested. Use these concepts where relevant: carbohydrates; lipids; proteins; nucleic acids; monomer/polymer.
Interpret nutrition/macromolecule tables without making medical claims.
Evidence task
Show units, setup, calculation or graph reasoning, then write what the quantitative evidence can and cannot establish about: How does molecular structure constrain biological function?
Food-label/data classification; paper model of monomers and polymers.
Safety boundary
Use the course safety charter. If supervision, facilities, materials, or conditions are not appropriate, use the supplied-data/simulation alternative rather than improvising hazardous procedures.
Evidence task
Record variables or design constraints, procedure/model, observations/data, and one revision you would make after reviewing the evidence.
Answer the essential question: How does molecular structure constrain biological function?
Mastery evidence
Submit a claim, at least two specific pieces of evidence, reasoning that connects them, one limitation/counterclaim, and a correction note for any essential concept below 80%.
