Building Biomolecules

Carbohydrates Identify the monomer Label and circle the functional groups Create a monosaccharide. Identify it by name. Create a disaccharide using dehydration synthesis. Identify it by name. Create a linear polysaccharide. Identify it by name. Identify the bond you created!

Lipids Identify the glycerol Label and circle the functional groups Create a triacylglycerol (using dehydration synthesis) containing saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Label the saturated and unsaturated chains. Create a phospholipid. Label the hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions Identify the bonds you created

Proteins Circle and label the components shared by all amino acids Using the PPT online, identify the amino acids. Using the PPT online, identify whether the R group is polar, acidic, basic, or non-polar Form a Primary structure by using dehydration synthesis. Identify the bonds you created

Nucleic Acids Identify the 3 components of a nucleotide. Circle the nucleoside in each monomer. Label the sugar with its name, if we assume this is a DNA nucleotide. Create a dsDNA strand, and label each strand as 5’ to 3’ Label the backbone Identify the bonds you created
