Above are 2 strands of macromolecules joined together by special temporary bonds. 1) Name the Macromolecule you are observing 2) What types of bonds are holding the two strands together (you can see them in red)? Hint* One of the molecules above is labeled "G" and it shares 3 of these red bonds with the molecule in the next strand labeled "C"

For each of the macromolecule classes we discussed, polymeric molecules are created by the covalent linkage of monomers via dehydration reactions. For each of the following macromolecules, identify the name of the monomers it is made from, the specific region or group within the monomers that participate in covalent bond formation (e.g. carboxyl group, amino group in the case of amino acid linkage to form polypeptides), and the name of the covalent bond formed. Macromolecule monomer Parts of monomer participating in covalent bond formation Name of the covalent bond formed Proteins Amino acid carboxyl group / amino group Nucleic Acids Nucleie acid Carbohydrates Monosaecharide

We will now start identifying the macromolecules based on the presence or absence of functional groups. Below are representations of each of the macromolecules we will learn about in Bis2A. Fill out the information below: There are lipids represented below. Square the lipids. There are carbohydrates represented below. There are nucleic acids represented below. Circle the nucleic acids. There are proteins represented below.
