Biomolecules

Master biomolecules! Our worksheet covers carbs, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Identify examples and functions.

Sort the information into the correct category of biomolecule. Carbohydrates Monosaccharide Glucose Starch Lipids Fatty Acids Fats Steriods Phospholipids Hydrophobic Proteins Amino Acids Catalyst Muscle Movement Enzyme Hormones Nucleic Acids Nucleotides Genetic Information DNA RNA Nitrogenous Bases Choose the correct biomolecule label for each picture. Carbohydrate Lipid Protein Nucleic Acid Going across the table, put the correct information for each biomolecule.
