Biomolecules Functions

Which biomolecule is responsible for insulation and energy storage?

• Protein

• Nucleic Acid

• Lipid

• Carbohydrate

Which organic molecule would a long-distance runner most likely choose to eat two hours before a race?

• A protein, because it builds muscle mass.

• A lipid because it provides long term energy storage.

• A carbohydrate because it releases energy quickly.

• A protein, because it transports oxygen into the blood stream.

How are the functions of a carbohydrate and a lipid similar?

• Both are a source of energy.

• Both are replicated during meiosis.

• Both lower the activation energy of reactions.

• Both dissolve nutrients in the digestive system.
