• polymer

• monomer

• glucose

• amino acid

A small molecule that makes up large molecules, a subunit or "building block"

• Carbohydrate

• Monosaccharide

• Protein

Match the function to the correct macromolecule:

• Short term energy shortage

• Protein

• Codes for traits (genes). Makes DNA

• Lipid

• Long term energy, insulation, membranes

• Nucleic Acid

• Builds muscles, antibodies, enzymes
