Make a Hamburger fold.
Fold into fourths and crease.
Unfold.
Cut flaps on folds by cutting the first layer only.

Biomolecule:
CARBOHYDRATESBuilding block:
monosaccharides (simple sugars) Ex. Glucose
Polymer:
Disaccharide: ex)fructose + glucose = sucrose
H2O
G F
Characteristics: Used for energy and structure.
Can form long chains called polysaccharides.
Ex. IN PLANTS Cellulose makes cell walls, Starch stores food.
Ex. IN ANIMALS Glycogen is stored in the liver
Examples:Potatoes, bread, lollypops, pasta

Characteristics: Fats are used for storage of energy.
Fats can be:
Saturated: No double bonds in fatty acid chain. Found in animals, solids at room temperature EX) Lard, Butter
Unsaturated: Some double bonds in fatty acid chain. Found in plants, liquids at room temperature. EX) Corn oil
Examples: Fats, Oils, and Waxes Phospholipids: in cell membrane
Cholesterol: in animalsFind a picture of Something containing lipids and place it here.

ProteinBuilding block:
Amino Acids
Polymer:
Polypeptide (small piece of protein)
Amino Acid Amino Acid Amino Acid
+ 2 H2O
Characteristics:
Proteins are used to build structures for the body, they also can be enzymes.
The bonds between amino acids are called peptide bonds.
Examples: Muscles, hair, enzymes, antibodies.

Biomolecule:
DNA & RNABuilding blocks:
Nucleotides
Polymer:
Nucleic acids
Used to carry genetic information within the cell
Examples:Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)Ribonucleic acid (RNA)
Generally found within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and free floating in prokaryotic cells.
