Monosaccharides are the only type of sugars
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic acids all have the same types of atoms.
What is an example of a biological function of nucleic acids?
They can perform all cellular work
They hold cellular information
They provide energy
Lipids dissolve in water
What are the types of polysaccharides?
Starch, Glycogen and Cellulose
Polysaccharides only have two types
There are not different kinds of polysaccharides
What are the building blocks or monomers of proteins?
Nucleotides
20 different amino acids
1 glycerol molecule + 3 fatty acids
None of the above
Carbohydrates are a(n) ❌ for our bodies
❌ is an example of a protein
The fructose that is found in fruit counts as a carb
Pinpoint a monomer
A lipid is a polymer
1) ❌ is a polysaccharide that is found in food such as potatoes and pasta. 2) This type of polysaccharide is stored in plants. ❌ 3) The polysaccharide ❌ stores the excess energy in the blood or muscle
