Question

the model shows the chemical structure of a molecule. ho - c - c - c - c - c - c - c - c - c - c - c - c - c - c - c - h o h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h this molecule is a building block of which type of biomolecule? carbohydrate protein lipid nucleic acid

Explanation:

The molecule shown has a long - chain fatty acid structure with a carboxyl group at one end. Fatty acids are building blocks of lipids. Carbohydrates have a different general structure with more oxygen - containing functional groups like hydroxyls and aldehydes/ketones. Proteins are made of amino acids which have an amino and a carboxyl group along with a side - chain. Nucleic acids are made of nucleotides with a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.

Answer:

lipid
