1. DNA & RNA

2. Make a Hamburger fold.

3. Fold into fourths and crease.

4. Unfold.

5. Cut flaps on folds by cutting the first layer only.  

6. BiomoleculeBuilding Block Make two columns on the front.

7. PolymerCharacteristics On the inside, label the flaps Polymer and the uncut side Characteristics.

8. Example: On BackOn Back On the back, put the word Examples at the top.

9. Biomolecule: CARBOHYDRATES Building block: monosaccharides (simple sugars) Ex. Glucose

10. Polymer: Disaccharide: ex)fructose + glucose = sucrose H2OH2O GF

11. Characteristics: Used for energy and structure. Can form long chains called polysaccharides. Ex. IN PLANTS Cellulose makes cell walls, Starch stores food. Ex. IN ANIMALS Glycogen is stored in the liver

12. Examples: Potatoes, bread, lollypops, pasta Find a picture of Something containing carbohydrates and place it here On back

13. Biomolecule: Lipids Building block: Fatty Acids and Glycerol

14. Polymer: Triglyceride GycerolGycerol Fatty acid + 3 H 2 O

15. Characteristics: Fats are used for storage of energy. Fats can be: Saturated: No double bonds in fatty acid chain. Found in animals, solids at room temperature EX) Lard, Butter Unsaturated: Some double bonds in fatty acid chain. Found in plants, liquids at room temperature. EX) Corn oil

16. Examples: Fats, Oils, and Waxes Phospholipids: in cell membrane Cholesterol: in animals Find a picture of Something containing lipids and place it here. On back

17. Biomolecule: Protein Building block: Amino Acids

18. Polymer: Polypeptide (small piece of protein) Amino Acid + 2 H 2 O

19. Characteristics: Proteins are used to build structures for the body, they also can be enzymes. The bonds between amino acids are called peptide bonds.

20. Examples: Muscles, hair, enzymes, antibodies. Find a picture of Something containing protein and place it here. On back

21. Biomolecule: DNA & RNA Building blocks: Nucleotides

22. Polymer: Nucleic acids Used to carry genetic information within the cell

23. Examples: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Ribonucleic acid (RNA) Generally found within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and free floating in prokaryotic cells.
