WHAT’S NEW
Activity 1.1 Macromolecule Plates and Glass
1. Write inside the first plate an example of food rich in carbohydrates
that you have eaten a while ago and tell us what you feel after eating it.
What did you feel after eating the food rich in carbohydrates?
-I eat rice earlier, and I feel full immediately after eating two cup of
rice.
2. Write inside the second plate an example of food rich in lipids that
you have eaten a while ago. What did you feel after eating the food rich
in lipids?
-I eat meat fat, I feel energized after that.
3. Write inside the third plate an example of food rich in protein that you
have eaten a while ago and tell us what you feel about what you have
eaten. What did you feel after eating the protein - rich food?

 -Egg, I feel fuller for longer.
4. Write inside the glass the function of nucleic acids.
-Nucleic acids play an essential role in the storage, transfer, and
expression of genetic information.

 What elements are they composed of? Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen,
Nitrogen and sometimes Sulfur found in protein.
What is the monomer? Amino acid
What is its function for the body? Prevents deficiency diseases and
defends the body from disease
Write two examples: Egg and yogurt
4. Nucleic Acids
What elements are they composed of? Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen,
Nitrogen, and Phosphorus.
What is the monomer? Nucleotide
What is its function for the body? DNA carries the genetic code of
organisms. RNA, carries the information from the DNA to
ribosomes to produce proteins.
Write two examples: DNA and RNA

Complete the table filling out the required information. Identify the
disorder/disease, related macromolecule and its function based on the
given scenario.
1. Covida, a grade 12 student experienced excessive sweating, frequent
urination, feeling very thirsty and hungry. She was not able to attend her
class during that day. She was rushed in the hospital and upon examining
her blood sugar it was found out that it is above its normal value.
2. One of the students of Mr. Corona shared her story when she was
hospitalized at the age of three. She showed her picture with enlarged
tummy, loss of muscle mass and inflamed patches on her skin. She even
mentioned that she was also irritable and had failure to grow in height
according to her mother.
3. While presenting the lesson on Circulation and Gas Exchange, the
teacher of Pandemic Integrated National High School complains

 shortness of breath, tightness and aching sensation in his chest that
radiates to his neck and jaw.
Disorders/ Diseases Related Function of
Macromolecules Macromolecules
Diabetes Mellitus Carbohydrates Carbohydrate becomes
sugar when breakdown
which gives energy.
Increased carbohydrate
intake causes elevated
blood sugar.
Kwashiorkor Protein Proteins are used to build
new tissues and vital for
repairing worn out body
parts. Proteins is also
important in the
regulation of normal
osmotic relation of the
body fluids.
Myocardial Infarction Lipids Lipid or fats maintain
body temperature. Too
much lipids or fats in the
body narrow blood
vessels which decreases
blood flow.
