1.

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

  • Proteins

  • Nucleic Acids

  • Lipids

  • Provides energy for your body.

  • Used to build things for your body.

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?
