SCI 1015 – Introduction to Life Science - Assignment

Week 2

Biological Molecules Concept Map

The second page of this document contains a concept map incorporating many of the terms that are important in this week’s modules on biological molecules. It will hopefully help you organize the information from that chapter in a logical way.

The words below will be used to fill in the blanks. Double click on the text boxes to enter your text.

Once you complete and submit the concept map, you will need to provide a one page explanation of the concept map in your own words. What is the concept map telling us? What are the groups of biological molecules and their roles? Every item in the concept map should be mentioned in your explanation.

Be sure to include a Works cited page for all of the sources you used for this assignment.
