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

Which are examples of Nucleic Acids?

• glucose, pasta, bread

• fats, oils, waxes

• meats, enzyme, lactase, eggs

• DNA, RNA

Which biomolecules can be DNA and RNA?

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

• Proteins

• Nucleic Acids

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