Biology Unit 1: Macromolecule Review Worksheet

1. Class of Macromolecules: Carbohydrates

The monomer (the building block) is Glucose (monosaccharide)

(Color the elements in the monomers below to match the models we built in class ? carbon = black, hydrogen = yellow, oxygen = red, and nitrogen = blue)

When many Monomers (glucose)

are combined, it forms a

Circle each monomer below for each polymer.

polymer

Elements Present: C, H, O

These polymers are also known as Complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides) Functions Include:

1) Main source of energy 2) Long term storage as complex carbohydrate

Examples Include: 1) Glucose, fructose, sucrose 2) Starch, cellulose, glycogen

2. Class of Macromolecules: Lipids

The building blocks are Fatty acids and glycerol

When m3anfaytty acids & 1 glycerol are combined, it forms a Lipid

(Color the elements in the monomers below to match the models we built in class ? carbon = black, hydrogen = yellow, oxygen = red, and nitrogen = blue)

Circle each building block below for the polymer.

Elements Present: C, H, O

Functions Include: 1) Long term energy storage

Examples Include: 1) fats, oils, waxes 2) cholesterol, bacon grease

3. Class of Macromolecules: Protein

The monomer (the building block) is Amino acid

(Color the elements in the monomers below to match the models we built in class ? carbon = black, hydrogen = yellow, oxygen = red, and nitrogen = blue)

When many Monomers (amino are combined, it forms a acid)

Circle each monomer below for each polymer.

polymer

Elements Present: C, H, O, N

These polymers are also known as Proteins (polypeptides) Functions Include:

1) Regulates chemical reactions and speeds up reactions 2) Forms antibodies

Examples Include: 1) Bone 2) Muscles
