Directions:
1. Fold a sheet of paper “hot dog style.” (Landscape).
2. Divide one side of the sheet of paper into four equal sections.
3. Label each section as follows: Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
4. Then cut each segment (top side only to form flaps!)
Under each flap include the following
information for each macromolecule:
1. Illustrate the structures: Carbohydrates,
Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids
2. Explain the functions (Look in your notes)
3. Examples
