Macromolecules Processing Activity

• With your card, locate others that belong in your
  group. You can tell what group youre in by the
  description on the card.
• There are 6 people per group.
• Once all 6 of you are found, stand together in
  the back of the room and quietly raise (all of)
  your hands. I will make sure you all belong in
  the same group. First group that is complete gets
  a prize.

Be able to explain, define, describe

• Monomers
• Polymers
• Carbohydrates
• Monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides
• Lipids
• Glycerol
• Fatty Acids
• Proteins
• Amino Acids
• Examples of each type of molecule
• Functions of each type of molecule
• Structures of each type of molecule (and rule to
  determine)
• What each type of molecule looks like and is made
  of (monomers)
• Hydrolysis (what it is, what it looks like, what
  it produces)
• Dehydration (what it is, what it looks like, what
  it produces)

• Peptide bond
• Primary Structure
• Secondary Structure
• Tertiary Structure
• Quaternary Structure
• R group

  examples)
• One scenario question
• A question on summer reading book and its
  relationship to molecules of life

Review Task 1
Examples of Polymer (i.e., where you can find it, what is a source of it?) Monomers(i.e., what smaller molecules make this up?) Type of Bond formed between monomers Info on its Molecular Formula Monomer Structure (i.e., what is a rule that helps us distinguish this molecule from others?) Functions of this Macromolecule in the body
Carbo-hydrates
Lipids
Proteins

Review Task 3.5

• Write the molecular formula for a starch molecule
  consisting of 22 glucose molecules, and explain
  how you know.

8
Review Task 4

• Explain the 4 levels of protein structure and how
  they contribute to the overall 3D structure of
  the protein molecule.

9
Review Task 5

• Explain how proteins can be beneficial to living
  things using all of the following terms and
  underlining them when used protein, enzyme,
  substrate, energy, structure, tertiary

Review Task 6

• What molecules can be represented by each color
  (purple, yellow, orange, and pink)? If the yellow
  molecule is lactose, what are the rest?
• Label on this diagram
• Enzyme
• Substrate
• Products
• Glycosidic bond (where it is)
• Dehydration (where it happened)
• Hydrolysis (where it happened)
• An example enzyme name and its associated
  substrate
• The example enzyme/substrates products!
