  1. Macromolecules Foldable Instructions

  2. Step 1 • Obtain 4 sheets of printer paper and fold them hamburger style so that you create an 8 flapped foldable.

  3. Step 2: Label the foldable M Macromolecules Organic Molecules Monomers Polymers Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids

  4. Flap 1: Macromolecules • Large Molecules formed through polymerization. • Compounds that contain compounds with bonds between carbon atoms. Flap 2: Organic Molecules

  5. Flap 3: Monomers • Small subunits that build polymers

  6. Flap 4: Polymers • Large compounds formed from many monomers.

  7. Flap 5: Carbohydrates • Monosaccharide • Examples: • Glucose • Deoxyribose • Ribose • Fructose • Galactose • Disaccharide • Examples: • Sucrose • (glucose + fructose) • Lactose • (glucose + galactose) • Maltose • (glucose + glucose) • Different Sizes of Carbohydrates • Monosaccharides • One Sugar • Disaccharides • Two Sugars • Polysaccharides • Many Sugars Function • Source of Energy • Structure • Composition • 1:2:1 Ratio of • ~Carbon • ~Hydrogen • ~Oxygen • Polysaccaride • Examples • Starch (bread & Potatoes) • Glycogen (beef muscle) • Cellulose (lettuce & corn) Starches and sugars are Examples of carbohydrates used by living things as a source of energy.

  8. Flap 6: Lipids Not soluble in water Saturated fatty acids: no double Bonds (bad) solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fatty acids: double bonds (good) liquid at room temperature. • Examples of Lipids • Fats • Oils • Waxes • Steroids • Triglycerides • Phospholipids Function Lipids can be used to store energy. Some are important parts of biological Membranes and waterproof coverings. Provide insulation, prevent water loss, And protect from physical shock.

  9. Flap 7: Proteins • Functions • Control rate of reactions- Enzymes • Form bones, muscles, hair, and nails • Transport substances into & out of cells • Help fight diseases- antibodies • Transport- hemoglobin Composition Made up of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Primary Structure: Amino acids bonded together by Peptide bonds (straight chains) Secondary structure: 3-D folding arrangement of primary Structure folded into coils and pleats held by hydrogen bonds. Monomers Amino Acids- 20 different kinds • Examples • Meat • Fish • Poultry • Dairy • Legumes

  10. Flap 8: Nucleic Acids Examples: DNA & RNA • Nucleic Acids are polymers made from monomers called nucleotides. Function To store and transmit hereditary, genetic information
