Macromolecules Fill in the table with the correct answers. Macromolecule Monomer Example Protein amino acids hormones Nucleic Acid nucleotides DNA Carbohydrates monosaccharides starch Lipids fatty acids oil Match the molecule to its function carbohydrates provide short term energy lipids store energy term energy nucleic acids genetic information proteins regulate cell processes Fill in the table below monomers fatty acids glucose nucleotides amino acids monosaccharides fructose polymers DNA nucleic acid protein lipid cellulose starch polysaccharides 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 Which of the following is NOT a function of proteins? store and transmit genetic information help to fight disease control the rate of reactions move substances into or out of cells What is the process that makes macromolecules? dehydration synthesis hydrolysis Complete the paragraph by filling in the blanks. The smaller units, or monomers, join together to form larger units called polymers. This process is called hydrolysis. The four major groups of organic molecules found in living things are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.
