Your friend is really irritable while sitting in class. He feels lightheaded and dizzy. He is also feeling a bit of confusion and brain fog. What inferences are most realistic to make about the biomolecules in your friend's body?

• He is running low on fast sources of energy

• Proteins are being broken down or reshaped

• The coding information in the cell is incorrect or incomplete

• There is not enough insulation or energy storage

Bowhead whales can have a specialized layer of blubber up to 30 cm’s thick. This acts as a special insulation that traps the heat their muscles create from movement.

What biomolecule is the blubber primarily made of?

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

• Proteins

• Nucleic Acids

Lipids have which of the following monomer:

• Glycerol & fatty acids

• amino acids

• monosaccharide

• nucleotide
