9. explain how monomers are linked together and how they are disassembled
10. macromolecule properties do not complete until we are in class. complete the following chart in class.

Explanation:

To solve these questions, we analyze the role of macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids) in each scenario:

5. Quick energy boost

Carbohydrates (e.g., glucose) are the body’s primary energy source, broken down rapidly for quick energy.

6. Strong nails

Proteins (keratin) form the structural component of nails, so consuming protein - rich foods (or ensuring adequate protein synthesis) supports nail strength.

7. Not eating for days

Lipids (fats) are stored as energy reserves. When food is scarce, the body breaks down fat stores for energy.

8. Healthy hair

Proteins (keratin) are the main structural component of hair. Sufficient protein intake (or proper protein - related processes) promotes hair health.

9. Race tomorrow afternoon

Carbohydrates (glycogen stores, or consuming carbs pre - race) provide readily available energy for short - term, high - intensity activities like a race.

10. Getting ready for hibernation

Animals store energy as lipids (fat) to survive the long period of hibernation when food is unavailable.

11. Bigger muscles

Proteins are essential for muscle growth and repair. Consuming enough protein (and engaging in muscle - building activities) supports muscle hypertrophy.

12. Next meal in a week

Lipids are long - term energy stores. The body will rely on fat reserves for energy over a week without food.

13. Macromolecules & monomers

• Carbohydrates: Monomers are monosaccharides (e.g., glucose). They link via glycosidic bonds (dehydration synthesis) to form polysaccharides (e.g., starch, glycogen). Disassembly: Hydrolysis breaks glycosidic bonds.
• Lipids: Most (triglycerides) have glycerol and fatty acids. Formed by ester linkages (dehydration). Disassembly: Hydrolysis of ester bonds.
• Proteins: Monomers are amino acids. Linked by peptide bonds (dehydration) to form polypeptides. Disassembly: Hydrolysis of peptide bonds.
• Nucleic Acids: Monomers are nucleotides. Linked by phosphodiester bonds (dehydration) to form DNA/RNA. Disassembly: Hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds.
