Question

1. during photosynthesis, plants capture sunlight energy to make glucose. then they are able to store glucose energy as what macromolecule?

a. starch
b. cellulose
c. chitin
d. sucrose
e. glycogen

1. which of the following is for long term energy storage?

a. lipids
b. carbohydrates
c. nucleic acids
d. proteins
e. none of the above

1. which of the following is for insulation?

a. lipids
b. carbohydrates
c. nucleic acids
d. proteins
e. none of the above

1. the information macromolecule that stores information from one generation to the other:

a. lipids
b. carbohydrates
c. nucleic acids
d. proteins
e. none of the above

Explanation:

• For question 5: Plants store glucose - energy as starch. Starch is a polysaccharide made up of glucose monomers.
• For question 6: Lipids are used for long - term energy storage in organisms due to their high energy density.
• For question 7: Lipids, especially fats, provide insulation in organisms, helping to maintain body temperature.
• For question 8: Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next.

Answer:

1. a. Starch
2. a. Lipids
3. a. Lipids
4. c. Nucleic acids
