Biomolecule Burger Preview

This biology resource uses the analogy of a hamburger to introduce students to the four main types of biomolecules - carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Students fill in a worksheet identifying the key elements and structures of each biomolecule as well as their primary functions. Critical thinking questions prompt students to consider why biomolecules are essential to life, what industries rely on them, and how discovering a new biomolecule could help survival.
