Question

1. during photosynthesis, plants capture sunlight energy to make glucose. then they are able to store that glucose energy as what macromolecule?

a. starch
b. cellulose
c. chitin
d. sucrose
e. glycogen

1. which of the following is for long term energy storage?

a. lipids
b. carbohydrates
c. nucleic acids
d. proteins
e. none of the above

1. which of the following is for insulation?

a. lipids
b. carbohydrates
c. nucleic acids
d. proteins
e. none of the above

1. the information macromolecule that stores information from one generation to the other.

a. lipids
b. carbohydrates
c. nucleic acids
d. proteins
e. none of the above

Explanation:

• For question 5: During photosynthesis, plants store glucose - derived energy as starch. Starch is a polysaccharide made up of glucose monomers.
• For question 6: Lipids are used for long - term energy storage in organisms as they contain more energy per gram compared to carbohydrates and proteins.
• For question 7: Lipids, especially fats, play a role in insulation in organisms, helping to maintain body temperature.
• For question 8: Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) store genetic information and pass it from one generation to the next.

Answer:

1. a. Starch
2. a. Lipids
3. a. Lipids
4. c. Nucleic acids
