ORGANIC MOLECULE CUT-OUTS
Purpose: To understand monomers, polymers and how organic molecules are put together. To create a review for the structures and functions of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids.
Materials:Cut-outs sheetsScissorsGluePaperNotesPen/Pencil
Procedures:
1. Grab a sheet or two of scrap paper to use as a base.
2. Cut out all the “Protein” shapes and words
3. Place the title “Protein” at the top of your paper
4. Arrange the Amino Acids together in any order to form a protein. Include the equal sign; you are adding many pieces together to make one final molecule.
5. Place the word “monomers” under the amino acids and the word “polymer” under the protein.
6. Find a place for the “Functions” box on the paper and write the definition of protein from your vocab sheet.
7. Check with Ms. Barlow before moving on! When she approves your work, glue all the pieces onto the paper.
8. Repeat steps 2-7 for Carbohydrates, except you'll have a glucose chain that will form a starch.
9. Repeat steps 2-7 for Lipids, except you'll add a number of fatty acids to a glycerol to form a lipid. If you are confused, look at the picture of the lipid to guide you: How are they arranged in the picture?
10. Repeat steps 2-7 for Nucleic Acids, except you'll add the three subunits together to produce the nucleic acid. If you are confused, look at the picture to guide you.
