WHAT MACROMOLECULES ARE IN MY FOOD?

Decode food labels and discover the macromolecules (carbs, lipids, proteins) that fuel your body. Essential for biology students!

Which macromolecule(s) would be found in the food label pictured below? Carbohydrates Carbohydrates and Protein Carbohydrates, Lipids, and Protein Carbohydrates, Lipids, Protein, and Nucleic Acids Analyze the snack label below and fill in the information in the data table. Macromolecule Grams (ONLY WRITE THE NUMBER VALUE) Carbohydrates 44 Proteins 21 Lipids 16 The following food label pictured below would be great for _. Long term energy To store and transmit genetic material Short term quick energy Movement and structure The following food label pictured below would be great for _. Long term energy To store and transmit genetic material Short term quick energy Movement and structure A student preparing for a championship golf match and wants to pack a snack that has biomolecules that provides quickly available energy but few excess calories. Which nutrition label lists the best combination of biomolecules that provides quickly available energy while providing the fewest calories from other types of biomolecules? Give one reason why you feel this food label you selected above is best for the golfer? Jason is currently being recruited by several Division I football programs but several of the coaches have mentioned his lack of muscle as a potential concern at the next level. Jason met with a nutritionist who presented him the following food items pictured below. Jason is not sure which food item he should be consuming to help with his muscle mass building. Which nutrition label below contains the biomolecule he should probably consume more of to improve his muscle mass and his movement on the field without causing a significant impact on his short-term quick energy? Give one reason why you feel this food label you selected above is best for Jason to prepare for the football season. Which food label would be most beneficial for the marathon runner to eat the night before the race? Give one reason why you feel this food label you selected above would be the most beneficial. Which food label would be the least beneficial for the marathon runner to eat the night before the race? Give one reason why you feel this food label you selected above would be the least beneficial. A subway customer removed the following items from his sandwich: what bread, oil, ham and turkey.Fill in the table bellow indicating which macromolecule category does each food item belong to. Food Item Macromolecule Ham Turkey Protein Oil Lipid Wheat bread Carbohydrate A subway customer removed the following items from his sandwich: wheat bread, oil, ham and turkey.Match what monomer unit each food item must be broken down into to perform cellular processes. Ham & Turkey Amino Acid Oil Fatty acid and glycerol Wheat bread Monosaccharide (Glucose) If the subway customer who eliminated,wheat bread, oil, ham and turkey decided to eliminate these macromolecules from their diet permanently, describe two problems for the customer. Hint: Think about the function of each macromolecule in our bodies.
