Question

biomolecule: carbohydrate
monomers are: monosaccharide
examples: starch, glycogen, cellulose
functions: primary energy source

biomolecule: amino acid
monomers are: none. an amino acid is a monomer of a protein
examples:
functions:

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

For the amino acid biomolecule:

  • Examples: Common amino acids include glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, etc. These are the building blocks of proteins.
  • Functions: Amino acids are used to synthesize proteins, which have various functions such as structural support (e.g., collagen), enzymatic activity (e.g., digestive enzymes), transport (e.g., hemoglobin), and immune response (e.g., antibodies). They can also be used as an energy source when needed, and are involved in the synthesis of other important molecules like neurotransmitters.

Answer:

  • Examples: Glycine, Alanine, Valine (or other specific amino acids)
  • Functions: Building blocks for protein synthesis; can be used as an energy source; involved in synthesis of neurotransmitters, enzymes, antibodies, etc. (or more specific functions related to protein roles)
