Question

before you read:
take a second to break down todays topic by using your knowledge of
prefixes. what do you think a macromolecule is?
answer:
think back to what you ate for your last meal/snack. did any of those
food items have a
utrition facts\ label on the back of them? if so, and
if you had a look at the foods protein, carbohydrate, or fat content, you
may already be familiar with several types of large biological molecules
well discuss in this informative text.
take a look at this nutritional label.

• how many grams of fat are in this

food?______

• how many grams of carbohydrates are in

this food?______

• how many grams of protein are in this

food?______
macromolecules, also known as biomolecules, are
large biological molecules that are divided into
four categories: proteins, lipids (fats),
carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. these four
macromolecules provide you (and other
organisms) with the building blocks you need to
maintain homeostasis.

Explanation:

The problem involves reading a nutrition label to find the amounts of fat, carbohydrates, and protein. These are basic data - reading tasks from a label which is a common practice in understanding food composition related to biology (as macromolecules are biological molecules).

Answer:

• How many grams of fat are in this food? 8g
• How many grams of carbohydrates are in this food? 37g
• How many grams of protein are in this food? 3g
