Macromolecules

What foods do you find certain macromolecules in? Match the food example to the correct macromolecule. Grilled Chicken Protein Cotton Candy Carbohydrates (Simple Sugar) 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 Example Protein amino acids hemoglobin (carries oxygen in blood) Nucleic Acid nucleotides DNA Carbohydrates monosaccharides starch Lipids fatty acids oil 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 Monomers vs. Polymers: Which are which? Fill in the table below monomers fatty acids nucleotides amino acids monosaccharides polymers nucleic acid protein lipid polysaccharides Elements that make up macromolecules Match the molecule with the elements that make it up. nucleic acids hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus proteins hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen lipids mostly carbon and hydrogen (and some oxygen) carbs carbon, hydrogen, oxygen Which of the following is NOT a function of proteins? store and transmit genetic information help to fight disease control the rate of reactions move substances into or out of cells ENZYMES Nucleic Acids Monomer: Nucleotide Polymer: DNA or RNA Foods High in this Molecule: ALL Foods Stores genetic information for cells C, H, O, N, P Proteins Monomer: Amino acid Polymer: Polypeptide Chain Foods High in this Molecule: Meats, Beans, Nuts Has diverse functions in the body C, H, O, N Carbohydrates Monomer: Simple Sugar Monomer: Monosaccharide Polymer: Polysaccharide Polymer: Starch Foods high in the MONOMER of this molecule: Fruits, Candy, anything sweet Foods High in the POLYMER of this Molecule: Pasta, Potatoes, Rice, Vegetables C, H, O Provides quick energy Lipids Monomer: Fatty acid Monomer can be saturated or unsaturated C, H, O (very few O) Foods High in this Molecule: Red meats, dairy products, oil Provides LONG TERM energy storage Makes up the cell membrane
