Question

classify each item by the class of molecule to which it relates. labels ① drop zones protein (1/4) nucleic acid (2/4) lipid (3/4) carbohydrate (4/4) folded peptide chains triglyceride chain of glucose molecules genes are made of this. dna its monomers are called nucleotides. its polymers are called polysaccharides. stored in adipose tissue its monomers are called amino acids. rna its main feature is its water-repellent property

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we classify each label into the correct macromolecule class (Protein, Nucleic acid, Lipid, Carbohydrate) based on their properties:

Protein (1/4)

• Folded peptide chains: Proteins are made of amino acid monomers linked into peptide chains, which fold into specific structures.
• Its monomers are called amino acids: Amino acids are the building blocks (monomers) of proteins.

Nucleic acid (2/4)

• DNA: DNA is a type of nucleic acid (the other is RNA).
• Its monomers are called nucleotides: Nucleotides (sugar, phosphate, base) are the monomers of nucleic acids.
• Genes are made of this: Genes are segments of DNA (a nucleic acid), so DNA is involved.
• RNA: RNA is another type of nucleic acid (e.g., mRNA, tRNA, rRNA).

Lipid (3/4)

• Triglycerides: Triglycerides (fats/oils) are a type of lipid.
• Stored in adipose tissue: Lipids (triglycerides) are stored in fat cells (adipose tissue).
• Its main feature is water - repellent property: Lipids are hydrophobic (water - repellent), unlike other macromolecules.

Carbohydrate (4/4)

• Chain of glucose molecules: Complex carbohydrates (e.g., starch, glycogen) are chains of glucose monomers.
• Its polymers are called polysaccharides: Polysaccharides (e.g., starch, cellulose) are carbohydrate polymers made of sugar monomers.

Final Classification:

• Protein: Folded peptide chains, Its monomers are called amino acids
• Nucleic acid: DNA, Its monomers are called nucleotides, Genes are made of this, RNA
• Lipid: Triglycerides, Stored in adipose tissue, Its main feature is water - repellent property
• Carbohydrate: Chain of glucose molecules, Its polymers are called polysaccharides
