Part A - Overview of Macromolecule Classes
Organic compounds are large polymers containing carbon. All
cellular and tissue-based structures of the human body can be
linked to at least one of these groups.
Sort the descriptions into the bins of macromolecule classes.
Monosaccharide is
the monomerConcentrated energy
made up of hydrocarbon
chains or ringsNot soluble in waterStructural and biological
catalyst macromolecules of
amino acids with various functionsATP is a modified versionMake up
the majority of
cell membrane structureHas several different
levels of foldingGenetic information comprising
a sugar-phosphate backbone and
complementary base pairingCommonly used source of
energy with the ratio
1 carbon-2 hydrogen-1 oxygen
Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins
Nucleic acids
Part D - Lipid Overview
Like carbohydrates, all lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
atoms, but in lipids, carbon and hydrogen atoms far outnumber
oxygen atoms. The most abundant lipids in the body are
triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.
Drag and drop each item to all bins that apply.
Charged "head" region with an uncharged "tail" regionFats that
contain phosphate groupsBilayer forms selectively permeable cell
membraneThree fatty acids attached to one glycerol moleculeAt least
one fatty acid chain, typically saturated with hydrogensFats that
are the basis for some hormonesMost physiologically important
example is cholesterol
Triglycerides Phospholipids Steroids
Part F - Nucleic Acid Overview
Nucleic acids carry genetic information, which provides the basic
blueprint of life. These are some of the largest macromolecules in
the body, and they are composed of nucleotides.
