Worksheet Overview & Skills Covered

Core academic competencies and curriculum alignment

This Biology Science worksheet provides structured practice on 10.14 Carbon Chemistry and Functional Groups. Students are guided through targeted exercises that build foundational understanding, computational accuracy, and critical thinking skills.

Carbon Chemistry and Functional Groups: Students identify carbon-based molecules, monomers, polymers, functional groups, dehydration synthesis, and hydrolysis in biological contexts. Rigor range: standard concept checks through honors/Pre-AP/AP-ready structure-function and biochemical data interpretation. Aligned to FreeK12Practice High School Biology Curriculum Crosswalk (NGSS/NRC Framework; CCSS Literacy and Mathematics; AP Biology enrichment; Texas TEKS Biology; Florida NGSSS/CPALMS Biology; Virginia SOL Biology; California NGSS and New York State Science Learning Standards) BIO.10.14 - Carbon Chemistry and Functional Groups: Corresponding standards copied from the curriculum for skill 10.14: National: NGSS HS-LS1-6; DCI LS1.C; CCSS RST.9-10.4; RST.9-10.7; AP Biology ENE-1, IST-1.

Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.14 Carbon Chemistry and Functional Groups skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the biochemical data display. A reaction between two monomers forms a new covalent bond and the measured amount of water increases. Which conclusion is best supported?

AThe reaction is dehydration synthesis.

BThe reaction is hydrolysis.

CThe reaction is only diffusion.

DThe reaction is a pH buffer with no bond change.

Solution & Explanation:A new bond between monomers plus water production is the signature of dehydration synthesis. Hydrolysis would consume water while breaking a bond.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A student claims, 'Because triglycerides are large biological molecules, they must be polymers like proteins.' Which response is best?

ATriglycerides are proteins because they contain peptide bonds.

BTriglycerides are nucleic acids because they contain nucleotides.

CTriglycerides cannot contain carbon because they are lipids.

DTriglycerides are large lipids assembled from glycerol and fatty acids, but they are not repeating monomer-chain polymers like proteins.

Solution & Explanation:Proteins are polymers of repeating amino acid monomers. Triglycerides are lipids made from glycerol and fatty acids, not repeating chains of the same monomer type.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which statement best explains why monomers alone do not fully determine polymer function?

AOnly the total mass of a polymer matters in cells.

BSequence, linkage type, branching, and functional-group orientation also affect structure and function.

CPolymers have no covalent bonds between monomers.

DAll monomers lose their functional groups after bonding.

Solution & Explanation:The identity of monomers matters, but polymers also depend on order, bonding orientation, branching, and functional-group positions. These features affect shape and interactions.
