2.1 Macromolecule Pop-up Pages Quiz

🎯 Learning Target:

I can create models that show the shape of four macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids.

I can identify the function of the four macromolecules in living things, and give examples of each.

Macromolecule = BIG molecule! Sometimes macromolecules are also called polymers.

Instructions

Follow along with your teacher to make paper models of the 4 types of macromolecules. There is also an image at the end that uses diagrams to show you how to make the cut-outs that you can refer to, and videos if you need to do these at home.

After you cut out your four macromolecules, glue or tape them in your notebook, and fill out the information sheets with the structure and function of each macromolecule. 

See the Interactive Notebook slides at the bottom of this page for help setting up your notebook pages so that all the information fits.

This is the information you need to include in the book for EACH macromolecule:

• • Type of Macromolecule
  • Draw and label the monomer on the model
  • Function of the macromolecule
  • Examples of the macromolecule
  • Lab Test Results (Leave about a half page for each macromolecule for lab results from a lab we will do)
  • These are the words you need to be sure to include in your notebook

    • nucleic acids proteins lipids carbohydrates enzymes amino acid

      simple sugar nucleotide fatty acid monomer polymer macromolecule

      starch complex carbohydrate fat iodine test benedict's test brown paper test

      biuret test positive test results negative test results macromolecule functions
