Question

match each word to its definition.
material that carries information about how an organism will look and function
a protein that acts as a catalyst in an organism
small molecule used to build larger molecules
organelle that holds a cells genetic material
large molecule made of many smaller molecules

a. monomer
b. enzyme
c. polymer
d. nucleus
e. dna

Explanation:

Each term is matched to its standard biological definition:

1. DNA is the molecule that carries genetic instructions for an organism's structure and function.
2. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up biological reactions as a catalyst.
3. A monomer is a small subunit used to construct larger molecules.
4. A nucleus is the organelle that stores a cell's genetic material.
5. A polymer is a large molecule composed of many smaller monomer units.

Answer:

1. material that carries information about how an organism will look and function → e. DNA
2. a protein that acts as a catalyst in an organism → b. enzyme
3. small molecule used to build larger molecules → a. monomer
4. organelle that holds a cell's genetic material → d. nucleus
5. large molecule made of many smaller molecules → c. polymer
