?) How can you identify organic macromolecules? Refer to structures of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids while doing this activity. Part A. Fill out the table, then use your answers to develop simple rules for identifying carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic acids Always contain P Generally contain no p Always contain N Generally contain no N Frequently contain S Generally contain no S
Generally contain no S Based on your answers above, what simple rule(s) can you use to identify the following macromolecules? What else can you add that is helpful in differentiating these molecules? Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic acids DNA versus RNA
Part B. Carbohydrate, lipid, protein, or nucleic acid? Name that structure! Based on the rules you developed in Part A, identify the compounds below (and on the following page) as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, polypeptides, or nucleic acids. 0-C17H35 1) H-C-OH ??

Part C. Now review the seven chemical groups found on the following page. Go back to the structures found in Part B and circle the chemical groups that you see in the different structures, and write the chemical group name next to your circle. For the table below, analyze the chemical groups often found in the different macromolecules. Can you establish some rules about which chemical groups are always found in the different macromolecules? Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic acids
