Macromolecule Function and Structure Sheet
Follow the directions for drawing each of the following macromolecules
Polymer = Carbohydrates
Monomer = _____________________
Functions:
In the following diagram:
 Color one glucose molecule green
 Draw a line separating the starch into two disaccharide molecules and label as such
 Label the entire molecule as a polysaccharide
Does this represent a complex or simple carbohydrate? How can you tell?
Polymer = Nucleic Acids
The two kinds are ______________ and _______________
Monomer = _____________________
Functions:
In the following diagram:



Color the nitrogen base green
The sugar yellow
Phosphate group blue
Polymer: Protein
Monomer = ____________________
Function(s):
For EACH of the amino acids below:



Color the amino group Green, color the carboxyl group blue, color the R group yellow
Circle on the diagrams where water will be removed to form a peptide bond
Redraw the molecules bonded together, and label the bond
How are these two molecules the same? How are they different?
Which part of the molecules is the functional part?
Lipids
Functions:
Examples
On each of the diagrams



Label Which one is saturated and which is unsaturated,
and circle the part that shows you the difference
Color the glycerol portion green
Color the fatty acid tails yellow
Is the unsaturated lipid? How can you tell?
