Biomolecules
Part I—Get a text book and summarize each macromolecule
Summarize Carbohydrates Pg 45-46 AND draw a pic
Summarize Lipids(fats) Pg 46-47 AND draw a pic
Summarize Nucleic Acids Pg 47 AND draw a pic
Summarize Proteins Pg 47-48 AND draw a pic
Name_________________
PART II Directions: Read the statement and determine if it is a PROTEIN,
CARBOHYDRATE, LIPID, OR NUCLEIC ACID
Who am I?
1) I contain a Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, phosphate group, and nitrogen base; Very
Complex. I am_________________
2) My job is to be the carrier of genetic information and instructions for protein
synthesis. DNA acts as command center of the cell and RNA acts as
messenger/protein synthesizer (maker) found within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. I
am_________________
3) I contains Carbon, hydrogen, and possibly other atoms; 2:1 ratio of carbon atoms to
hydrogen atoms. Insoluble to water. I am_________________
4) My job is to serve as a source of short term or long term energy such as glucose or
starch. Energy comes from sugars and starches. Two types of sugars: Simple (sugars)=
milk, fruit
Complex (starches) = pasta I am_________________
5) I contain carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and possibly other atoms; ratio of 1:2:1 of
hydrogen to carbon to oxygen ratio I am_________________
6) My job is to serve as a source of long term energy (stored energy); cell membrane
component; protective coating is waxy, acts as a chemical messenger in body
(cholesterol). Categorized as fats, oils, and waxes. Also used as insulation for the
body. I am_________________
7) I contain carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen made of amino acids bonded by
polypeptides. Large and complex structure. I am_________________
8) I am the structural molecule of the human body. Major component of hair, nails
(Keratin), and skin pigment (melanin and Hemoglobin). Functions as an enzyme,
hormone, and transporter molecule such as hemoglobin. Utilized for the production of
muscle, can also be found within ribosomes and/or the rough endoplasmic reticulum
of eukaryotic cells I am_________________

PART III ---Eating macromolecules. Read and in the boxes to the right. Draw foods with that
macromolecule
Part IV—Venn Diagram
Make a Venn comparing any 2 macromolecules. Include 6 bullet points or more
