provide quick energy to the body through glucose, a simple sugar
larger carbohydrates are made of simple sugars called monosaccharides (like glucose)
glucose is broken down for energy and to make new things in the body
examples are sugars and starches
contain C, H, O
3
Multiple Select
Carbohydrates are made of (select all that apply)
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Phosphorous
4
Multiple Choice
The monomers or building blocks of carbohydrates are
amino acids
monosaccharides
nucleotides
fatty acids and glycerol
5
Multiple Choice
Carbohydrates are important for life because
they make up cell membranes
they code for genetic information
they regulate cell processes and are important for muscle development
they are a main source of energy
6
Multiple Select
We find carbohydrates in foods like (select all that apply)
butter
bread and pasta
sugar
fruits
meat
7
make up the cell membranes, provide long-term energy, and include some hormones
made of glycerol and fatty acids
examples are fats and steroids
contain C, H, O
8
Multiple Select
Lipids are made of (select all that apply)
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Phosphorous
9
Multiple Choice
The monomers or building blocks of lipids are
amino acids
monosaccharides
nucleotides
fatty acids and glycerol
10
Multiple Choice
Lipids are important for life because
they make up cell membranes and provide long-term energy
they code for genetic information
they regulate cell processes and are important for muscle development
they are a source of fast energy
11
Multiple Choice
We find lipids in foods like
butter
bread and pasta
sugar
fruits
meat
12
regulate processes and speed up reactions inside the cell (enzymes) and are important for muscle development in animals
made of amino acids
examples are hemoglobin, insulin, pepsin
contain C, H, O, N
13
Multiple Select
Proteins are made of (select all that apply)
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Phosphorous
14
Multiple Choice
The monomers or building blocks of proteins are
amino acids
monosaccharides
nucleotides
fatty acids and glycerol
15
Multiple Choice
Proteins are important for life because
they make up cell membranes
they code for genetic information
they speed up important reactions in the cell
they are a source of fast energy
16
Multiple Select
We find proteins in foods like (select all that apply)
butter
bread and pasta
beans
fruits
meat
17
store genetic information
made of nucleotides
examples are DNA and RNA
contain C, H, O, N, P
18
Multiple Select
Nucleic acids are made of (select all that apply)
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Phosphorous
19
Multiple Choice
The monomers or building blocks of nucleic acids are
amino acids
monosaccharides
nucleotides
fatty acids and glycerol
20
Multiple Choice
Nucleic acids are important for life because
they make up cell membranes
they code for genetic information
they regulate cell processes and are important for muscle development
they are a main source of energy
21
Digestion breaks food down into useful nutrients, so the body can use those nutrients to make the macromolecules it needs
Cells also use these nutrients to perform cellular respiration, which gives the body energy to do work (like walk up all the stairs to biology!)
The nutrients move into the bloodstream (absorption) and then can be transported throughout the body
22
Multiple Select
Which elements are found in ALL macromolecules?
Carbon
Phosphorous
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Hydrogen
23
Match
Match the macromolecule to its function:
Carbohydrate
Lipid
Protein
Nucleic Acid
Provides quick energy
Long-term energy
Speeds up reactions
Stores genetic information
Provides quick energy

24
Multiple Select
Which molecules below are considered macromolecules?
Water
Carbon dioxide
Glucose
Pepsin (an enzyme)
DNA
25
Open Ended
