What is amino acids
What is the function of a nucleic acid?
What is DNA holds our genetic material and RNA transfers genetic information and helps to make (synthesize) proteins
This macromolecule is the main source of energy for cells.
What are carbohydrates?
List the 4 macromolecules and list their function in the body
What is
Nucleic Acids: Holds our genetic information and helps with the production of proteins
Carbohydrates- long-term energy, support and make up the cell wall
Proteins: structure of cells, transport molecules, build and repair tissues, defend the body from foreign invaders, speed up chemical reactions.
Lipids: Long-term energy, water control, and insulation
