1. What are the essential nutrients (macromolecules) that must be in every diet?
2. Describe lipids (-their structure, - the difference between saturated and unsaturated, - their function in your body (including membranes)
Describe proteins (-the basic structure, -peptides, polypeptides, proteins, - role in the body, - denaturation and coagulation)
Describe carbohydrates (-the basic structure, - monosaccharide, disaccharide, polysaccharide, - function in the body)
3. Know how to test for carbohydrates, lipids, starches and proteins. Be able to name the test, describe the test, identify a positive result from a negative. What do the above macro-nutrients break down into?

Identify the tests performed below. What nutrient is being tested for and which observations are positive for that nutrient.
2. Define and give an example of hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis.
Is the following diagram of dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis. Explain.
Go to the following website to see dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis of all of the nutrients.
