6. Proteins are a major part of every living cell
and have many different functions within each
cell. Carbohydrates also perform numerous roles
in living things.
Part 1. Describe how the structures of proteins
differ from the structures of carbohydrates.
Part II. Describe how the functions of proteins
and carbohydrates differ.
Part 1. Describe how the structures of proteins differ from the
structures of carbohydrates.
Proteins are made from repeating subunits called amino acids (which
contain nitrogen), which are connected together by peptide bonds.
Carbohydrates are generally ringed or long chained structures that
always has a general formula of CH2O.
Part II. Describe how the functions of proteins and
carbohydrates differ.
Carbohydrates generally are used as an energy source for
living organisms. Proteins are the structural material of
the body. They make up muscles and bones. They also
serve as chemical receptors and enzymes in living things
8. In the picture below, is one of many water molecules that would be found in a
beaker of water.
***Hand-draw picture***
Part I. Draw 3 additional water molecules surrounding the one given. Each
molecule drawn must be properly oriented to the molecule given.
Part II. Draw a box around 1 possible hydrogen bond in the above diagram.
Part III. Draw a box around a covalent bond in the above diagram.
Part IV. Label the partial charges on both hydrogens and the oxygen on one
molecule.
9. Match the monomer to the appropriate polymer. Write
the letter of the monomers beside the corresponding
polymer.
A. Amino acid
