    The document provides a biomolecules web quest that asks students to answer questions about the six most abundant elements in life, the differences between elements, atoms, molecules and compounds, and the basic molecular structures and functions of carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. It also asks students to describe how carbohydrates and fats are digested, how proteins are made, how heart attacks occur, and how heat, surface area, concentration and catalysts affect the rate of a reaction. Students are directed to various websites to find this information through animations, videos and reading materials.
