2. Activity #3: You are what you eat, literally! Protein activity
H.W. DUE TOMORROW: If you didn't do so in class: finish activity #3: You are what you eat, literally! Protein activity
AND
The Nucleic Acid AND Protein Portion of your macromolecule info sheet: (instructions below:
NUCLEIC ACID MACROMOLECULE SECTION:
•List
the elements (as identified in the Periodic Table) that are found in all
nucleic acids
•Hand
draw a
picture of a nucleotide (p. 48- the same one as the one you drew on your notes). Label this picture “Nucleic
Acid Monomer- Nucleotide”. On
this picture label the phosphate, sugar and nitrogenous base
•Hand
draw a
picture of DNA (p. 348). Label this picture, “Nucleic Acid Polymer- Deoxyribonucleic Acid” Under the picture,
describe the function of DNA
•Hand
draw a
picture of RNA (p. 363- draw the mRNA). Label this picture, “Nucleic Acid Polymer- Ribonucleic Acid” Under the picture, describe the function of RNA.
Congratulations! That concludes the nucleic acid section of you macromolecule info sheet
PROTEIN MACROMOLECULE SECTION:
•List
the elements (as identified in the periodic table) that are found in all amino
acids.
•Hand
draw a
picture of an amino acid. Label this
picture “Protein Monomer- Amino Acid”. On this picture
label/identify the carboxyl group, R group and amino group. (draw the general
structure on page 48)
•Draw
a picture of a polypeptide. Label this
picture “Protein Polymer- Polypeptide”. On this picture label/identify the peptide bond.
•Write
at least three functions of
proteins in living organisms
