Description
Combine multiple sets to increase student knowledge, teach additional life science concepts, and build more advanced structures, such as disaccharides, alpha and beta glucose, or carbohydrates. One set supports 1–2 students.
Molecules that can be built and set topics include, but are not limited to:
With 1 set:
- Introduction to organic chemistry and functional groups
- Simple aldoses, ribose, ketoses, fructose
- Monosaccharides of glucose, galactose
- Phospholipids
- Triglyceride lipids
- Saturated and unsaturated cis/trans fats and lipids
- One example of an amino acid
- Building block of DNA, RNA, and phosphate group
- Pyrimidines
With 2 sets:
- Comparison of alpha and beta glucose
- Condensation reaction and the glycosidic bond
- Disaccharides
- Formation of proteins and the peptide link
- Purines in DNA and the nucleotides
With 3 sets:
- Carbohydrates
- Photosynthesis reaction
- Respiration reaction
Replacement parts for this set and all Molymod® sets are available upon request.
