Question

amoeba sisters video recap: biomolecules directions: for each statement, write a \c\ if it best applies to the carbohydrates, \l\ if it best applies to lipids, \p\ if it best applies to proteins, or
\ if it best applies to nucleic acids 1 i am useful for a fast source of energy. 2 i have involvement in the immune system (ex: antibodies). 3 i am helpful for long - term energy storage. 4 i have a large role in muscle development. 5 if athletes \pasta load,\ they consume a lot of me. 6 a mutation in dna would initially start with me. 7 i make up cell membranes. 8 enzymes, which can speed up reactions, belong in my category. 9 i am important for insulation. 10 i contain elements c, h, and o and have a 11 my category includes genetic material. 12 i can contain long fatty acid chains.

Explanation:

1. Carbohydrates are a fast - energy source.
2. Antibodies are proteins involved in the immune system.
3. Lipids are for long - term energy storage.
4. Proteins play a large role in muscle development.
5. Athletes carbo - load on carbohydrates.
6. DNA is a nucleic acid, so a DNA mutation starts with nucleic acids.
7. Lipids make up cell membranes.
8. Enzymes are proteins that speed up reactions.
9. Lipids are important for insulation.
10. Carbohydrates contain C, H, and O.
11. Nucleic acids include genetic material.
12. Lipids can contain long fatty acid chains.
