Question

question 16 match the following terms. fatty acid organic compound carbohydrates amino acids nucleic acids choose choose the structure is recognized by the very long carbon skeleton. it has a carboxyl group at one end. it can serve as insulation for living things. the type of compound that contains carbon atoms bonded to other carbon atoms. large and complex macromolecules that store and transfer information in a cell. monomers composing proteins. these are called the quick energy foods because they are quickly converted to energy by the cells. choose choose choose 4 pts

Explanation:

1. "These are called the 'quick - energy' foods because they are quickly converted to energy by the cells" refers to Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the body's main source of quick - release energy.
2. "Monomers composing proteins" are Amino acids. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids.
3. "The type of compound that contains carbon atoms bonded to other carbon atoms" is an Organic compound. Organic compounds are characterized by the presence of carbon - carbon bonds.
4. "The structure is recognized by the very long carbon skeleton. It has a carboxyl group at one end. It can serve as insulation for living things" describes Fatty Acid. Fatty acids have long carbon chains and a carboxyl group, and fats (made of fatty acids) can act as insulation.
5. "Large and complex macromolecules that store and transfer information in a cell" are Nucleic acids. DNA and RNA, which are nucleic acids, store and transfer genetic information.

Answer:

1. Carbohydrates
2. Amino acids
3. Organic compound
4. Fatty Acid
5. Nucleic acids
