Question

14.fill in the chart below using the following word bank:
nucleotide short term quick energy
amino acid long term energy storage / insulation
fatty acids & glycerol enzymes, muscles, structures & building blocks
glucose genetic material (dna / rna)

Explanation:

• Carbohydrates: Monomer is glucose (simple sugar), function is short - term quick energy.
• Proteins: Monomer is amino acid, function includes enzymes, muscles, structures & building blocks.
• Nucleic Acids: Monomer is nucleotide, function is genetic material (DNA/RNA).
• Lipids: Monomer is fatty acids & glycerol, function is long - term energy storage/insulation.

Answer:

Macromolecule/Polymer	Monomer	Function / Use
Protein	amino acid	enzymes, muscles, structures & building blocks
Nucleic Acid	nucleotide	genetic material (DNA / RNA)
Lipids	fatty acids & glycerol	long term energy storage / insulation
