Here’s a way to classify and identify the macromolecules along with their characteristics based on your key:
Macromolecules Infographic
Color Key:
- Macromolecules = Peach
- Carbohydrates = Green
- Lipids = Red
- Proteins = Blue (if you add a color for proteins, as it wasn’t listed in your key)
- Nucleic Acids = Purple (if you add a color for nucleic acids, as it wasn’t listed in your key)
Classification:
-
Sugars and Starches
- Classification: Carbohydrates
- Color: Green
-
Nucleic Acids
- Classification: Nucleic Acids
- Color: Purple
-
Immediate Energy Source of Living Things
- Classification: Carbohydrates
- Color: Green
-
Nucleotides
- Classification: Nucleic Acids
- Color: Purple
-
Protein
- Classification: Protein
- Color: Blue
-
C, H & O (Carbon, Hydrogen & Oxygen)
- Classification: Carbohydrates (main elements in carbs)
- Color: Green
-
ATCG (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine)
- Classification: Nucleic Acids
- Color: Purple
Summary:
- Macromolecules: Peach (general category)
- Carbohydrates: Green (includes sugars and starches, immediate energy source, and C, H & O)
- Lipids: Red (not specifically represented in your items)
- Proteins: Blue (not represented but could be)
- Nucleic Acids: Purple (includes nucleic acids and ATCG)
You can adjust the colors based on your preference or the supplies you have!
