2. which macromolecule stores genetic material?
3. have single bonds and can raise your ldl, bad cholesterol in the body.
4. which macromolecule helps build muscle and bone?
5. have double bonds and can help lower your bad cholesterol in the body.
6. which macromolecule is a quick source of energy?
7. which macromolecule serves as insulation and can provide protective coating in leaves?
8. what is the monomer for a carbohydrate?
9. the structure for a carbohydrate contains what elements?
10. what is the monomer for a protein?
11. what is an example of a protein?
12. what is the monomer for a lipid?
13. the structure for a lipid contains what elements?
14. what is the monomer for a nucleic acid?
15. the structure for a nucleic acid contains what elements?

Explanation:

1. Organic compounds are carbon - based and have carbon - hydrogen bonds.
2. Nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA) store genetic material.
3. Saturated fats have single bonds and can raise LDL.
4. Proteins help build muscle and bone.
5. Unsaturated fats have double bonds and can lower bad cholesterol.
6. Carbohydrates are a quick energy source.
7. Lipids can serve as insulation (e.g., in animals) and as a protective coating (e.g., in leaves).
8. Monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates.
9. Carbohydrates have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio.
10. Amino acids are the monomers of proteins.
11. Enzymes are a type of protein.
12. Glycerol and fatty acids (3 fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol group - triglyceride) are the monomers of lipids.
13. Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (but not in a 1:2:1 ratio like carbohydrates).
14. Nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids.
15. Nucleic acids contain a phosphate group, 5 - carbon sugar, and a nitrogen base.

Answer:

1. g.Organic Compound
2. l.Nucleic Acid
3. e.Saturated Fat
4. k.Protein
5. h.Unsaturated Fat
6. b.Carbohydrate
7. d.Lipid
8. f.Monosaccharide
9. o.Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen in a ratio of 1:2:1
10. c.Amino Acid
11. l.Enzyme
12. m.3 fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol group (Triglyceride)
13. (Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen - but not specified in the word - bank in a ratio, just the elements. If we assume the word - bank's "o" is for carbohydrates, for lipids, it's carbon, hydrogen, oxygen)
14. a.Nucleotide
15. n.Phosphate group, 5 carbon sugar, and a nitrogen base.
