Explanation:

1. Stored hereditary information: Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA store genetic info).
2. Makes up the cell - membrane bilayer: Lipids (phospholipids form the bilayer).
3. Made up of amino acids: Proteins (polymers of amino acids).
4. Speeds up and controls chemical reactions: Proteins (enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts).
5. Makes up breads, pastas, fruits, and sweets: Carbohydrates (these are common sources of carbs).
6. Acts as a waterproofing molecule: Lipids (waxes are lipids and act as waterproofing).
7. Examples are vegetable oil and butter: Lipids (these are types of fats, which are lipids).
8. DNA and RNA are examples: Nucleic acids.
9. The polymer of amino acids: Proteins.
10. DNA and RNA are examples: Nucleic acids.
11. The polymer of fatty acids: Lipids (fats are polymers of fatty acids).
12. Made up of nucleotides: Nucleic acids (nucleotides are the building - blocks).
13. Makes up meats, nuts, and eggs: Proteins (good sources of protein).
14. Stored energy: Lipids (fats store energy).
15. Immediate energy source for living things: Carbohydrates (glucose is a common immediate energy source).
16. Made up of monosaccharides: Carbohydrates (monosaccharides are the monomers of carbs).
17. Includes fats, oils, and waxes: Lipids.
18. Makes up many structural components of living things: Proteins (e.g., collagen in connective tissues).
19. Determine the traits of living things: Nucleic acids (genes in DNA determine traits).
