2.1 Lesson:

• Outside of recording slides 1-18

• Look for patterns in: the elements found in the 4 major biomolecules, the monomers they are composed of, the functions they serve in the body. 

• Research an additional examples of an enzyme NOT found in the human body. What does it do? 

PowerPoint 2: Required addition to your notes.
