Macromolecules commonly found in food graphic organizer!
If you have missed class or need some extra help you can use this sheet to complete your
macromolecules graphic organizer. (Student examples available in classroom).
Directions:
1. Take one piece of paper and cut into 3 strips leaving a little room at the top. Label the 3 strips as “carbohydrates,”
“proteins,” and “lipids.”
2. Staple that piece of paper over a piece of notebook paper.
3. Write the questions on the top piece of paper.
4. Fill in the answers on the notebook paper underneath. You can either use your notes or the table below.
5. Use this as a tool to study for your 12 question test on Common Food Macromolecules.
