13. proteins are made of subunits called: __________
14. more commonly called sugar, its molecular formula is c₆h₁₂o₆ __________
15. the food we eat provides the __________ needed for life functions.
16. a carbohydrate found in bread and pasta: __________ (handwritten: starch)

Explanation:

1. Polymers are made of individual subunits called monomers (by definition of polymers and monomers in biochemistry).
2. Chains of glucose make up starch (glucose polymerizes to form starch in plants).
3. Molecules that make up living things and contain carbon are called organic molecules (definition of organic molecules in biology).
4. An aquatic animal that makes a protein - based slime is hagfish (known biological fact about hagfish).
5. A carbohydrate that makes up the cell walls of plants is cellulose (cellulose is the main component of plant cell walls).
6. A carbohydrate that makes up the exoskeleton of insects is chitin (chitin is the structural component of insect exoskeletons).
7. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down milk sugar (lactase is a type of enzyme with the function of breaking down lactose, milk sugar).
8. The cell membrane of all cells is made of phospholipids (cell membrane structure is a phospholipid bilayer).
9. Nucleic acids are made of individual subunits called nucleotides (nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids).
10. Lipids are made of fatty acids and glycerol (basic structure of lipids, especially triglycerides).
11. DNA and RNA are both types of nucleic acids (classification of nucleic acids in biology).
12. Large molecules made of many small subunits are polymers (definition of polymers).
13. Proteins are made of subunits called amino acids (amino acids are the monomers of proteins).
14. More commonly called sugar, its molecular formula is $C_6H_{12}O_6$ is glucose (molecular formula of glucose).
15. The food we eat provides the energy needed for life functions (food is a source of energy for living organisms).
16. A carbohydrate found in bread and pasta is starch (starch is a common carbohydrate in these food items).
