Match each of the four biomolecules with its function (job) in your body...
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Proteins | arrow_right_alt | Provides your cells with the instructions they need to make their proteins. |
Nucleic Acids | arrow_right_alt | Cells in your body metabolize (break down) this for a quick source of energy. |
Carbohydrates | arrow_right_alt | Used for long-term energy storage and insulation (keeps you warm). |
Lipids | arrow_right_alt | Builds your physical traits (Hair, skin, nails, muscles, etc.) |
The complex carbohydrates pictured below are made by linking molecules of glucose. In all three complex carbohydrates, the subunits of glucose are bonded together differently. Because they have different structures, they most likely:
An advertisement for a health supplement for dogs claims to build lean muscle and strengthen tendons and ligaments, as well as provide immediate (quick) energy.
Which two biomolecules must the supplement contain to provide these benefits?
A student preparing for a hike wants to pack a snack that has macromolecules that provide quickly available energy but few excess calories. Which nutrition label lists the best combination of macromolecules that provide quickly available energy while providing the fewest calories from other types of biomolecules?
Alexis is the star quarterback on his football team. For his position, he must have strong muscles to throw the football and lots of energy to increase his speed in case he decides to run the ball.
Which of the following foods should Alexis eat during football season?
The graph below shows the speed of a bicyclist during a race...
One hour (60 minutes) into the race, the cyclist consumed (ate) a snack to help improve their performance.
Based on the data in the graph and what you know about biomolecules, what do you think their snack was made of?
Scenario:
Larissa is preparing for a hiking trip. She wants to pack a snack to help rebuild and repair her muscles after the hike.
Food Options:
Larissa has two types of nutrition bars that she could take with her but only has space to pack one.
Question:
