Question | Answer |
---|---|
Four major biomolecules | Proteins, Carbohydrates, Lipids, and Nucleic Acids |
Used as a quick energy source | Carbohydrates |
Long term energy storage and insulation | Lipids |
Found in meats, nuts, fish and beans | Proteins |
Consists of a monomer called a monosaccharide | Carbohydrates |
Found in butter, oil, and wax | Lipids |
Used to build hair, nails, and enzymes | Proteins |
Consists of a polymer called a nucleotide | Nucleic Acids |
Consists of monomers called glycerol and fatty acids | Lipids |
Consists of a polymer called a polysaccharide | Carbohydrates |
Breads, pasta, fruits and vegetables | Carbohydrates |
Consists of a monomer called an amino acid | Proteins |
Polymers of this biomolecule are called polypeptides | Proteins |
This biomolecule makes up your genetic information (DNA and RNA) | Nucleic Acid |
