Macromolecules Practice

Master macromolecules with our biology practice worksheet!

Macromolecules Fill in the table with the correct answers. Macromolecule Monomer Example Protein amino acids hormones Nucleic Acid nucleotides DNA Carbohydrates monosaccharides starch Lipids glycerol fatty acids oil Match the molecule to its function carbohydrates provides energy lipids long term energy storage, insulation nucleic acids stores genetic information proteins structure, storage, contractile, enzymes, transport Fill in the table below monomers fatty acids glucose nucleotides amino acids monosaccharides fructose polymers DNA nucleic acid protein lipid starch RNA Match the molecule with the elements that make it up. nucleic acids carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus proteins carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen lipids carbon, hydrogen, oxygen carbs carbon, hydrogen, oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio The diagram below shows the general structure of an amino acid. Which type of molecule is formed from amino acids? lipids carbohydrates nucleic acids proteins What will most likely happen if an appropriate enzyme is added to a chemical reaction? The reaction will stop The reaction rate will decrease The equilibrium of the reaction will be maintained The reaction rate will increase Lipids are the main components of cell membranes.Lipids provide long term energy storage when consumed.Carbohydrates provide short term energy when consumed.The monomer of a carbohydrate is a monosaccharide.The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
