Question

biomolecule indicator lab
name daynish (oils)
part i - pre - lab; for each statement write a \c\ if it applies to carbohydrates, a \l\ if is applies to lipids, a \p\ if it applies to proteins and a
\ if it applies to nucleic acids.
_ i am used for long - term energy storage
_ i contain c, h, o and have long fatty acid tails.
_ i can speed up chemical reactions (enzymes).
_ i can be used for insulation and waterproofing.
_ i form structural components of cells.
_ i contain c, h, o and have a ring - like structure.
_ if athletes pasta load, they consume a lot of me.
_ i am used for short - term energy storage
_ i have a role in muscle development
_ i am made up of nucleotides
_ i contain c, h, o, n and p
_ i contain both sugars and starches
_ i am made up of amino acids
_ i contain c, h, o and n
_ i make up cell membranes
_ i can be found in cell walls (cellulose and chitin)

Explanation:

1. Long - term energy storage: Lipids are used for long - term energy storage, so "L".
2. Role in muscle development: Proteins are important for muscle development, so "P".
3. Contain C, H, O and have long fatty acid tails: Lipids fit this description, so "L".
4. Made up of nucleotides: Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides, so "N".
5. Can speed up chemical reactions (enzymes): Enzymes are proteins, so "P".
6. Contain C, H, O, N and P: Nucleic acids contain these elements, so "N".
7. Can be used for insulation and waterproofing: Lipids can be used for insulation and waterproofing, so "L".
8. Contain both sugars and starches: Carbohydrates contain sugars and starches, so "C".
9. Form structural components of cells: Proteins form structural components of cells, so "P".
10. Made up of amino acids: Proteins are made up of amino acids, so "P".
11. Contain C, H, O and have a ring - like structure: Carbohydrates often have a ring - like structure, so "C".
12. Contain C, H, O and N: Proteins contain these elements, so "P".
13. Athletes 'pasta load' consumes a lot of me: Pasta is a source of carbohydrates, so "C".
14. Used for short - term energy storage: Carbohydrates are used for short - term energy storage, so "C".
15. Make up cell membranes: Lipids make up cell membranes, so "L".
16. Can be found in cell walls (cellulose and chitin): Carbohydrates (cellulose) are in plant cell walls, so "C".
