For each of the 4 biomolecules, determine whether they provide energy for your body or they are used to build things for your body.
(HINT: 2 provide energy and 2 are used to build things for your body!)
Carbohydrates
Nucleic Acids
Lipids
Proteins
Provides energy for your body.
Used to build things for your body.
Carbohydrates are quickly metabolized (broken down) by your body, but lipids take more time for your body to metabolize (break down). However, both carbohydrates and lipids provide your body with
Black bears, grizzly bears, and polar bears can hibernate for up to seven and a half months without drinking water, eating food, or defecating (pooping). Bears may lose up to 15-30 % of their body weight during hibernation.
Which biomolecule do bears rely upon for stored energy during hibernation?
Identical twins, Mark and Phil, share all of the same traits, because they inherited the exact same genetic material from their parents.
![]()
Which biomolecule did they inherit from their parents?
Which of the following is TRUE about proteins?
An advertisement for a health supplement for dogs claims to build lean muscle and strengthen tendons and ligaments, as well as provide quick available energy.
Which two biomolecules must the supplement contain to provide these benefits?
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?
