Question

categorize the following descriptions as representative of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. enter 4 levels of structure (i.e. primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary). three types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. includes fats, oils, waxes, and phospholipids. most abundant organic compound. necessary for normal cell communication and function. functions include long - term energy storage and cell structure. composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of 1c:2h:1o. regulate chemical reactions and are a major component of the protoplasm. non - polar, thus insoluble in water. made up of 1 or more polypeptide chains. two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) and ribonucleic acid (rna). composed of nucleotides. reset

Explanation:

Answer:

Carbohydrates: Three types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides; Composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of 1C:2H:1O
Lipids: Includes fats, oils, waxes, and phospholipids; Most abundant organic compound; Functions include long - term energy storage and cell structure; Non - polar, thus insoluble in water
Proteins: Exhibit 4 levels of structure (i.e., primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary); Necessary for normal cell communication and function; Regulate chemical reactions and are a major component of the protoplasm; Made up of 1 or more polypeptide chains
Nucleic Acids: Two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA); Composed of nucleotides
