The Molecules of Life
Macromolecules Processing Activity
• With your card, locate others that belong in your
“group”. You can tell what group you’re in by the
description on the card.
• There are 6 people per group.
• Once all 6 of you are “found”, stand together in
the back of the room and quietly raise (all of)
your hands. I will make sure you all belong in the
same group. First group that is complete gets a
prize.
Be able to explain, define, describe:

Monomers
Polymers
Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides, disaccharides,
polysaccharides
Lipids
Glycerol
Fatty Acids
Proteins
Amino Acids
Examples of each type of molecule
Functions of each type of molecule
Structures of each type of molecule
(and rule to determine)
What each type of molecule looks like
and is made of (monomers)
Hydrolysis (what it is, what it looks like,
what it produces)
Dehydration (what it is, what it looks
like, what it produces)

One scenario question
A question on summer reading book
and its relationship to molecules of life
Review Task #1
Examples
of
Polymer
(i.e., where
you can find it,
what is a
source of it?)
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Monomers
(i.e., what
smaller
molecules
make this
up?)
Type of
Bond
Info on its
Molecular Formula
formed
between
monomers
&
Monomer Structure
(i.e., what is a rule that helps us
distinguish this molecule from
others?)
Functions of
this
Macromolecu
le in the body
Review Task #2
• Explain and draw dehydration synthesis.
• Explain and draw hydrolysis.
Review Task #3
Compare & Contrast Lipids, Proteins, Carbohydrates
– Molecular Structure
– Functions
– Monomers and Polymers
– Sources (food)
– Processes used to create monomers/polymers
do it. 
Review Task #3.5
Write the molecular formula for a starch
molecule consisting of 22 glucose
molecules, and explain how you know.
Review Task #4
Explain the 4 levels of
protein structure and
how they contribute to
the overall 3D structure
of the protein molecule.
Review Task #5
Explain how proteins can be beneficial to
living things using all of the following terms
and underlining them when used:
protein, enzyme, substrate, energy, structure, tertiary
Review Task #6
What molecules can be represented by each color
(purple, yellow, orange, and pink)? If the yellow
molecule is lactose, what are the rest?
Label on this diagram:
- Enzyme
- Substrate
- Products
- Glycosidic bond (where it is)
- Dehydration (where it happened)
- Hydrolysis (where it happened)
- An example enzyme name and its associated substrate
- The example enzyme/substrate’s products!
