word bank
amino acids
glycerol
lipids
enzymes
fatty acids
proteins
nucleotides
polysaccharides
carbohydrates
monosaccharides
energy
nucleic acid

1. nucleic acid help store and transmit genetic information.
2. the monomers of lipids consist of a and tails.
3. are used as short - term energy sources and plant structures.
4. the building blocks of are amino acids.
5. are chains of single stranded sugars. they often referred to as complex carbohydrates.
6. some proteins function as that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the requirement.
7. which of the following is an example of carbohydrates?

a. chicken
b. turkey
c. bread
d. wax

1. which of the following macromolecules are said to be insoluble?

a. proteins
b. nucleic acids
c. carbohydrates
d. lipids

Explanation:

1. Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information.
2. Lipids' monomers are glycerol and fatty - acid tails.
3. Carbohydrates are short - term energy sources and part of plant structures.
4. Proteins are built from amino acids.
5. Polysaccharides are chains of single - stranded sugars (complex carbohydrates).
6. Some proteins function as enzymes that lower activation energy to speed up reactions.
7. Bread is a carbohydrate source as it contains starches. Chicken and turkey are protein sources, and wax is a lipid.
8. Lipids are generally insoluble in water due to their non - polar nature. Proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates can be more water - soluble depending on their structure and functional groups.

Answer:

1. Glycerol; Fatty - acid
2. Carbohydrates
3. Proteins
4. Polysaccharides
5. Enzymes; Activation energy
6. c. Bread
7. d. Lipids
