which type of biomolecules are made up of fatty acids? (1 point)
○ lipids
○ proteins
○ nucleic acids
○ carbohydrates

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the structure of biomolecules:

• Lipids: Include fats, oils, etc., and are made of fatty acids (and glycerol in some cases like triglycerides).
• Proteins: Made of amino acids.
• Nucleic acids: Made of nucleotides.
• Carbohydrates: Made of monosaccharides (like glucose).

So the biomolecules made up of fatty acids are lipids.

Answer:

A. lipids
