p i have a role in muscle development.
n i am made up of nucleotides.
p i contain c, h, o, n and p.
c i contain both sugars and starches.
p i am made up of amino acids.
p i contain c, h, o and n.
l i make up cell membranes.
l i can be found in cell walls (cellulose and chitin).
part ii - biomolecule indicators; indicators are used in science to test for the composition of various substances. in biology, we use indicators to test for the presence of specific biomolecules in food. there are four main indicators used to test for the biomolecules.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are for short - term energy storage and include sugars and starches. Lipids are for long - term energy storage, can be used for insulation and waterproofing, make up cell membranes, and have long fatty acid tails. Proteins are made of amino acids, contain C, H, O, N, have a role in muscle development, can speed up chemical reactions (enzymes), and form structural components of cells. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides and contain C, H, O, N, P.

Answer:

1. L - Lipids are used for long - term energy storage.
2. P - Proteins have a role in muscle development.
3. L - Lipids contain C, H, O and have long fatty acid tails.
4. N - Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides.
5. P - Proteins can speed up chemical reactions (enzymes).
6. N - Nucleic acids contain C, H, O, N and P.
7. L - Lipids can be used for insulation and waterproofing.
8. C - Carbohydrates contain both sugars and starches.
9. P - Proteins form structural components of cells.
10. N - Nucleic acids (not a perfect match for the ring - like structure description but closest as other biomolecules don't fit well).
11. C - If athletes 'pasta load', they consume a lot of carbohydrates.
12. C - Carbohydrates are used for short - term energy storage.
13. L - Lipids make up cell membranes.
14. C - Carbohydrates can be found in cell walls (cellulose and chitin).
