General
This is where we obtain most of our macromolecules, since our bodies can't make them on their own.
What is food?
This is the 6 letter anagram we learned to remember which elements make up all living things.
What is CHONPS?
This is the monomer for carbohydrates.
What is glucose?
The function of this macromolecule is mainly long term energy storage.
What is a lipid?
Eggs are an example of this macromolecule.
What is a protein?
This root means 'large'.
What is macro-?
These elements make up proteins.
What is CHONS?
This is the monomer for nucleic acids.
What is a nucleotide?
This polymer is responsible for storing the genetic information and instruction codes for life.
Olive oil is an example of this macromolecule.
What is a lipid?
These are the four main macromolecules.
What are lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids?
These elements make up lipids.
This is an example of a carbohydrate polymer.
What is starch, cellulose, or glycogen?
The function of this macromolecule is mainly short term energy storage.
What is a carbohydrate?
Pasta is an example of this macromolecule.
