Question

each of the four groups of macromolecules has a primary role and function.
directions: drag and drop to match each macromolecule category with its role
lipids
makes up enzymes and
muscle fibers
carbohydrates
primary source of energy
proteins
long term energy storage and
insulation
nucleic acids
contains genetic information

Explanation:

• Proteins: They make up enzymes and muscle fibers. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions, and muscle fibers are made of protein filaments (actin and myosin).
• Carbohydrates: The primary source of energy. Glucose (a simple carbohydrate) is broken down in cellular respiration to release energy (ATP).
• Lipids: Long - term energy storage and insulation. Fats (a type of lipid) store a large amount of energy, and lipids like adipose tissue provide insulation in the body.
• Nucleic acids: Contain genetic information. DNA (a nucleic acid) stores the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known organisms.

Answer:

• Proteins: makes up enzymes and muscle fibers
• Carbohydrates: primary source of energy
• Lipids: long term energy storage and insulation
• Nucleic acids: contains genetic information
