2. FIRST, RECALL… What is a monomer? What is a polymer? Mono= one
-mer = part
Building block
What is a polymer?
Poly=many
-mer=part
A polymer is a large molecule consisting of many smaller subunits bonded together.

3. FOLDABLE
Take your construction paper and label the top: MACROMOLECULES
Grab your two sheets of computer paper and fold them in half (hotdog style) and then fold in half again (hamburger style).
Paste the two sheets of computer paper to the construction paper as shown.
Cut the top flap of the computer paper in half to make four flaps.
Label each flap: a) Carbohydrates b) Lipids c) Proteins d) Nucleic Acids

4. CARBOHYDRATES
Monomer: Monosaccharides (simple sugars) known as glucose
Polymer: Polysaccharides
Function: Provide energy for respiration & structural support in plant cell walls
Examples: Glucose, fructose, cellulose & starch
Found In: Pasta, fruit, veggies
Elements: CHO

5. LIPIDS Composed of: Fatty Acids & Glycerol
Function: Provides insulation, solubility for some vitamins/minerals, waterproofing, part of biological membranes
Examples: Triglycerides, oils, waxes
Found In: Butter, cheese, meats
Elements: CHO

6. PROTEINS Monomer: amino acids Polymer: polypeptides
Function: almost all functions of body; muscles, skin, hair; structural support; transport substances; speed up reactions; control cell growth; communicate between cells
Examples: Enzymes, hormones, muscle
Found In: Meat, legumes, nuts
Elements: CHON

7. NUCLEIC ACID Monomer: nucleotides Polymer: nucleic acids
Function: genetic information and all information to produce all cell parts and materials
Examples: DNA & RNA
Found In: Every cell
Elements: CHOPN
