Macromolecule Foldable – AP version
FRONT SIDE OF TABS:
Tab A
1. Label the tab PROTEIN
2. Write “monomer” and identify the monomer for a protein. Also, write the name of the bond that joins
these monomers together.
3. Sketch a generic AMINO ACID
4. Label the amino group, carboxylic acid group, and the “r” group
Tab B
1. Label the tab Carbohydrate
2. Write “monomer” and identify the monomer for a carbohydrate. Also, write the name of the bond
that joins these monomers together.
3. Sketch a generic molecule of GLUCOSE
4. Write the MOLECULE FORMULA of glucose
Tab C
1. Label the tab LIPID
2. Sketch and label a TRIGLYCERIDE
3. List 3 differences in saturated and unsaturated triglycerides (fats)
Tab D
1. Label the tab NUCLEIC ACID
2. Write “monomer” and identify the monomer for a nucleic acid. Also, write the name of the bond that
joins these monomers together.
3. Sketch and label the parts of a NUCLEOTIDE
4. List the base pairs (what base pairs with what other base)
BACK SIDE OF TABS:
Tab A
1. Give 4 FUNCTIONS OF PROTEINS and EXPLAIN what is meant by that function
2. List 2 EXAMPLES OF PROTEINS and WHERE you would find that protein
3. Describe each level of protein organization. Include what type of bond is used, and what is specifically
being bonded to each other (i.e. adjacent amino and carboxyl groups, R groups, etc.)
Tab B
1. Give 2 FUNCTIONS OF CARBOHYDRATES and EXPLAIN what is meant by that function
2. List 4 EXAMPLES OF CARBOHYDRATES and tell whether they are mono-, di-, or polysaccharides
3. List the only 3 elements carbohydrates are built from and their ratios to one another
Tab C
1. Give 2 FUNCTIONS OF LIPIDS and EXPLAIN what is meant by that function
2. List 4 EXAMPLES OF LIPIDS
Tab D
1. Give 2 FUNCTIONS FOR NUCLEIC AICDS
2. List 2 EXAMPLES OF NUCLEIC ACIDS
ON THE INSIDE CENTER SECTION
1. Center and write the word MACROMOLECULE
2. List the 4 macromolecules
3. Define the term DEHYDRATION (CONDENSATION). Identify whether this type of reaction would be
involved in an anabolic (building something) or catabolic (breaking something down) pathway. Then, tell
whether the pathway you chose would generally involve endergonic (requires energy) or exergonic
(releases energy) reactions.
4. Define the term HYDROLYSIS. Identify whether this type of reaction would be involved in an anabolic
(building something) or catabolic (breaking something down) pathway. Then, tell whether the pathway
you chose would generally involve endergonic (requires energy) or exergonic (releases energy)
reactions.
5. Draw the condensation reaction for joining 2 amino acids to form a dipeptide
ON THE BACK OF THE CENTER SECTION
1. Label this section Functional Groups
2. List each of the 7 biologically important functional groups (there are only 6 listed in your
outlines. Methyl is added to the functional group chart you were given).
3. Draw the structure of each functional group.
