Macromolecule Structure and Function Synthesis of Macromolecules Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms Macromolecule Structure and Function Activity Part I: Macromolecule Structure and Function You are a scientist in the “Keep it Simple” laboratory, and you analyze evidence from Simple Land. You study biological monomers, including amino acids and nucleotides. Somehow, your research leaks to the Internet. From your research, scientists in Complex City learn how to synthesize simple biological monomers from inorganic precursors. They have decided to take your advice and have created four different polymers they have named “macromolecules.” The scientists have created these macromolecules, but they have gotten things mixed up and they do not know which samples contain which macromolecules. They need your help sorting out their samples. You accept a sizeable salary to help them achieve their goal. You have brought with you testing supplies that you know are needed to identify carbohydrate monomers and polymers, proteins, and lipids. You have also brought along model-building supplies to help them understand nucleic acids. To help the Complex City scientists when you cannot be there, you have decided to develop a macromolecule Comparison Chart that compares the characteristics of each macromolecule. This tool will help the Complex City scientists compare the structure and function of each macromolecule and document your excellent work. Use the Reference Sheet located at each station to perform each set of tests. Record your results on your Student Handout, along with the evidence for each macromolecule in the macromolecule Comparison Chart. Polysaccharide - Starch
