Question

directions: the following table is designed to help you organize your knowledge about biomolecules. some of the information has been filled in for you.

biomolecule	makes me think of... (this can be original for you)	monomer	elements	example(s)
lipid	16.	glycerol + fatty acid<br>*note: many do not consider lipids to have true monomers. read why in the video description!	17	18
protein	19.	20	21	22
nucleic acid	23.	24	25	dna, rna

Explanation:

Each row is completed based on core biological properties of biomolecules:

1. Carbohydrates: Key role is short-term energy; monomer is monosaccharide; common examples are sugars and starches.
2. Lipids: Function in long-term energy storage; made of C, H, O (with far more H than O); examples include fats and oils.
3. Proteins: Act as enzymes/structural molecules; monomer is amino acid; contain C, H, O, N; examples are collagen and insulin.
4. Nucleic Acids: Store genetic information; monomer is nucleotide; contain C, H, O, N, P.

Answer:

Biomolecule	Makes me think of...	Monomer	Elements	Example(s)
Lipid	Long-term energy storage	Glycerol + Fatty Acid	C, H, O	Fats, oils, cholesterol
Protein	Enzymes, structural support	Amino Acid	C, H, O, N	Collagen, insulin, enzymes
Nucleic Acid	Genetic information storage	Nucleotide	C, H, O, N, P	DNA, RNA
