Macromolecules & Enzymes

Master macromolecules and enzymes with our interactive biology worksheet!

What foods do you find certain macromolecules in? Match the food example to the correct macromolecule. Grilled Chicken Protein Baked Sweet Potato Carbohydrates (Starch) ALL FOODS Nucleic Acids Cup of butter (that you would use to put on something else!) Lipid Monomers and Polymers of Macromolecules Fill in the table with the correct answers. Macromolecule Monomer Protein amino acids Nucleic Acid nucleotides Carbohydrates monosaccharides Lipids fatty acids Macromolecules and their Functions Match the macromolecule to its function carbohydrates provide energy for quick use lipids store energy for long term nucleic acids stores genetic information proteins acts as a building block for cells, regulates cell processes Enzymes are which type of macromolecule? lipid nucleic acid protein carbohydrates Activation energy is the energy required for the reactionto happen. In a reaction, an enzyme lowersthe activation energy and increasesthe speed or rate of the reaction without being altered.This makes enzymes known as biological catalysts. Enzymes - Label Diagram Using your knowledge of enzymes and the lock and key model, label the picture below. Use the following word bank:Active site, Product, Enzyme, Enzyme, Substrate, Enzyme Complex Substrate Enzyme Active site Enzyme-substrate complex Products
