2. Objective: to create an informational poster about an organic compound.

3. Section 1: Monomer. Choose a monomer of your organic compound and find a diagram of it online.
Draw a color diagram of the
monomer
Show atoms connected by bonds
Include a color key for the atoms
Write the name of the monomer and its chemical formula

4. Section 2: Polymer. Choose a polymer that is made from your monomer and find a diagram of it online.
Label the polymer
Draw a color diagram of the
polymer
Show monomers connected by bonds
Label the monomer
Highlight one of the monomers in the polymer

5. Section 3: Function in living things
Section 3: Function in living things. Use your graphic organizer (on file) to find the functions of the organic compound in living things.
Draw a color illustration for each function
EXTRA CREDIT: research additional functions of your organic compound online, and include them in this section of the poster
Write a brief description of each function

6. Draw a color diagram of the enzyme-catalyzed
Section 4: Enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Use the internet to find a diagram of a reaction involving your organic compound that is catalyzed by an enzyme.
Label the substrate
Draw a color diagram of the enzyme-catalyzed
reaction
Label the enzyme
Label the product
