Front

What happens to energy storage as the number of bonds in a molecule increases?

Back

The more bonds a molecule has, the more energy is stored.

Front

Do elephants require protein in their diet?

Back

Yes, elephants need protein in their diet.

Front

What is the primary source of quick energy for living organisms?

Back

Front

What role do proteins play in the body?

Back

Proteins play a crucial role in building and repairing tissues, making enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function.

Front

What are carbohydrates primarily used for in the body?

Back

Front

Explain the relationship between energy and molecular bonds.

Back

The relationship is that the more bonds a molecule has, the more energy it can store, as energy is released when these bonds are broken.

Front

What are the two main types of biomolecules that provide energy?

Back

Carbohydrates and lipids are the two main types of biomolecules that provide energy.
