Matter and Energy in Animals
Additional resources are listed under each learning target for this unit below.
LT5 (Digestion) - Describe what happens to biomolecules in the digestive system.
1. The video below covers the basic biomolecules in foods and what happens to them in our cells.
2. Click here for a website that includes more information about biomolecules, and has animations that show which foods are broken down in which parts of the digestive system. Handy! Then watch the video below for an inside view of the digestive system.
3. Online Frog Dissection
- Froguts website
- Virtual Frog Dissection website
4. Watch the videos below for more on enzymes.

LT6 (Biosynthesis) - Describe how cells obtain and use monomers to build biomolecules.
1. Here are the Digestion Over Time slides, which we used to talk about what happens to biomolecules during both digestion and biosynthesis.
2. Digestion is made possible through hydrolysis. Biosynthesis is made possible through dehydration synthesis. Watch the video below for a description of both.
LT7 (Matter in Cellular Respiration) - Describe how matter transforms during cellular respiration.
LT8 (Energy in Cellular Respiration) - Describe how energy transforms during cellular respiration.
1. Click here for a video and watch the overview for cellular respiration. Then, the videos below also provide overviews of cellular respiration and its importance to living things. These overviews include how ATP is made during cellular respiration.
