Question

1. use the chart below to answer the question. a biology student creates a table that shows the function of the four major macromolecules. macromolecule function lipids transport oxygen in the blood proteins help with muscle contractions nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information carbohydrates provide usable chemical energy for cells which function is not correct for the macromolecule and why? a. the lipid because they are responsible for long - term energy storage. b. the proteins, because they are responsible for helping with chemical reactions within the organelles of the plant. c. the carbohydrates because they are responsible for the structure of the cell membrane. d. the nucleic acids because they are responsible for transmitting genetic information for the production of proteins within the cell.

Explanation:

Lipids are for long - term energy storage, not for transporting oxygen in the blood (which is a function of hemoglobin, a protein). Proteins do help with muscle contractions, nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information, and carbohydrates provide usable chemical energy for cells.

Answer:

A. The lipid because they are responsible for long - term energy storage.
