The reading assignment for this week introduced you to the four types of biological macromolecule.
For each category of macromolecule, carbohydrate, lipid, protein and nucleic acid, select a representative polymer and explain its function within the cell. Suggest which aspects of your chosen molecule are characteristic of the class of macromolecules to which it belongs by identifying its monomer subunits and describing their basic chemical structure and the manner in which the monomers are linked together.
For instance, an example of a carbohydrate would be cellulose. Its monomer subunit is glucose which is a monosaccharide with the formula C6H12O6. The glucose molecules in cellulose are linked together by β1-4 glycosidic bonds which form long chains and give cellulose its strength and rigidity. This strength is important as the function of cellulose is to provide structural support in plants.

In a classic experiment using pea shape, mendel conducted two separate genetic crosses. in the first cross the parent plants were “true breeding” for pea shape; one had round peas ( r )and the other had wrinkled (r). the first cross produced a filial 1 generation of all round peas. in the second cross, mendel bred plants from the filial 1 generation. this cross produced different results. out of approximately 1000 plants, about 75% were round and 25% were wrinkled.
