9. Can you attempt building models of biomolecules using commercially available atomic models (Ball and Stick models).

Solution:

Yes, the ball and stick model can be used to represent biomolecules. Sticks depict the bonds that hold the molecule together, while balls represent the atoms.

A model of D-glucose is shown below, with hydrogen atoms represented by green balls, oxygen atoms represented by pink balls, and carbon atoms represented by grey balls.
