An NSF GK-12 Project University of California Santa Cruz Jenn Yost and Erin Mejia Watsonville High School, Fall 2011 Enzymes and the Making or Breaking of a Macromolecule Supplies: Glue & Scissors Enzymes build molecules and they break them apart depending on the body’s needs. Each large block on the next two pages represents an enzyme. Anabolic enzymes build macromolecules. Catabolic enzymes break macromolecules apart into the monomers that make it up. The smaller shapes represent monomers, or the building blocks of life. Each enzyme is specific for a particular monomer that will connect to it at the active site. 1. Cut out the all the shapes from the two pages of cut-outs. 2. Put the three catabolic enzymes aside for later. Anabolic enzymes 3. Build a carbohydrate - Use the appropriate carbohydrate anabolic enzyme as a guide to organize and connect all the sugar (glucose) molecules together. 4. Build a lipid – Use the appropriate lipid anabolic enzyme as a guide to organize and connect the three fatty acids and a glycerol. Use the letters on the enzymes and monomers to organize them correctly. 5. Build a protein – Use the appropriate protein anabolic enzyme as a guide to organize and connect all of the amino acids. Catabolic enzymes 6. Match the catabolic enzyme with the correct macromolecule. 7. Cut between the amino acids at the cut site. (Where the X’s are.) 8. Repeat for the lipid, carbohydrate, and protein. 9. Now glue the monomers in your notebook under the appropriate macromolecule.

Macromolecules Monomers Carbohydrate Fatty acids Nucleic Acid Amino acids Protein Glucose or other simple sugars Lipids Nucleotides What is the function of enzymes? Are enzymes specific? Would a lipase enzyme work on a protein? _______ If the correct catabolic enzyme is mixed with a protein, what product will result? (What are the monomers of a protein?) If you want to build a lipid, what type of enzyme do you need? (Anabolic or Catabolic) Fill in the missing boxes: Macromolecules/Polymer Example of a source of this macromolecule Protein Lipids Oils Monomers Amino Acids Carbohydrates DNA Nucleotides SCWIBLES is an NSF GK-12 project, #DGE-0947923, a partnership between the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the Pájaro Valley Unified School District.
