Describe what you see happening here.

When you are done describing, skip a couple lines and ask questions.

If you're really stuck or when you've finished, you can grab the molecule parts and make the item labeled 4. P will be purple, O will be red.

If you don't have a partner, make two of '4'.

is the molecule of quick cellular energy. This is a molecule that must be ​

Select answer

to maintain homeostasis. ATP is a ​

Select answer

, the monomer of a nucleic acid, but it does not bond to other nucleotides to form a polymer in the same way; its modified structure means it has a modified function.

When you finish this, work with your partner to complete step '5' with your models of '4'.
