QUESTION IMAGE
Question
the image is a concept map titled \biomolecules\ with labeled boxes (e.g., \are\, \which are the source of energy\, \which make up the cell membrane\, \examples are\, \are large\, \made of the elements\, \which store genetic information\, \which have the building blocks\, \are carbohydrates\, \which are the main source of\) and sections for biomolecule categories (e.g., energy, cell membrane, genetic info, carbohydrates) with blanks to fill.
To complete the concept map on biomolecules, we analyze the key categories and their components:
1. Biomolecules Classification (Left Section)
Biomolecules are divided into Macromolecules (large, complex) and Micromolecules (small, simple building blocks).
- Macromolecules:
- Carbohydrates: Source of energy, building blocks are monosaccharides (e.g., glucose).
- Lipids: Energy storage, cell membrane structure, building blocks are fatty acids and glycerol.
- Proteins: Structural (e.g., enzymes, hormones), building blocks are amino acids.
- Nucleic Acids (DNA/RNA): Store genetic information, building blocks are nucleotides.
- Micromolecules (building blocks of macromolecules):
- Monosaccharides (for carbs), fatty acids/glycerol (for lipids), amino acids (for proteins), nucleotides (for nucleic acids).
2. Elements in Biomolecules (Right Section)
Biomolecules are made of elements like:
- C (Carbon), H (Hydrogen), O (Oxygen) (common in carbs, lipids).
- N (Nitrogen) (in proteins, nucleic acids).
- P (Phosphorus) (in nucleic acids, phospholipids).
3. Filling the Concept Map (Key Blanks)
- “are” (under Biomolecules) → Macromolecules (and Micromolecules).
- “which are the source of energy” → Carbohydrates (and Lipids).
- “which make up the cell membrane” → Lipids (phospholipids) and Proteins (membrane proteins).
- “Examples are” (under energy source) → Starch (carb), Fats (lipid).
- “are large components” → Macromolecules.
- “which store genetic information” → Nucleic Acids (DNA/RNA).
- “which have the building blocks” (nucleic acids) → Nucleotides.
- “Examples are” (nucleic acids) → DNA, RNA.
- “are carbohydrates” (middle section) → Monosaccharides (e.g., glucose), Disaccharides (e.g., sucrose), Polysaccharides (e.g., starch).
- “which are responsible for” (proteins) → Structure, Enzymes, Hormones.
- “which have the building blocks” (proteins) → Amino Acids.
- “Examples are” (proteins) → Enzymes (e.g., Amylase), Structural (e.g., Collagen).
