Biological Polymers What are they?
Definition • Biological Polymers are large molecules formed by many monomers joined together.
Polymers in us • Carbohydrates: Made by joining together monosaccharides (single sugars). • Fats: Made by joining fatty acids to glycerol. • Proteins: Made by joining amino acids together.
AOI • HEALTH AND SOCIAL EDUCATION: • Health and social education is basically how one can make healthy decisions. It focuses on how we can mentally and physically develop.
How the AOI relates to Polymers • Biological polymers are all about healthy diets. This unit shows how each healthy polymer is formed and what it uses to be formed. • It relates to the AOI because it talks about the nutrition we take in everyday. Tells us how each polymer affects our body.
AOI and Biological Polymers • The AOI affects the unit of Biological Polymers. • This is because it makes us find out which polymers are more useful for us at this age and how each is useful in every way. • The AOI helps us make different decisions about how we can balance these polymers in out diets.
