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 ring - like structure. 11. _ my category includes genetic material. 12. _ i can contain long fatty acid chains.

Explanation:

1. Carbohydrates are a quick 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. Pasta is a carbohydrate source.
6. DNA is a nucleic acid, so mutations start with nucleic acids.
7. Lipids make up cell membranes.
8. Enzymes are proteins.
9. Lipids are important for insulation.
10. Carbohydrates often have C, H, O and ring - like structures.
