Unit 1B Macromolecule Review

by Laura Boyle

​Carbohydrates

• provide energy to the body through glucose, a simple sugar

• ​larger carbohydrates are made of simple sugars called monosaccharides (like glucose)

• ​glucose is broken down for energy and to make new things in the body

• ​contain C, H, O

Multiple Select

Carbohydrates are made of (select all that apply)

• Carbon

• Hydrogen

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

• Phosphorous

Multiple Choice

The monomers or building blocks of carbohydrates are

• amino acids

• monosaccharides

• nucleotides

• fatty acids and glycerol

Multiple Choice

Carbohydrates are important for life because

• they make up cell membranes

• they code for genetic information

• they regulate cell processes and are important for muscle development

• they are a main source of energy

Multiple Select

We find carbohydrates in foods like (select all that apply)

• butter

• bread

• sugar

• rice

• meat

​Lipids

• ​make up the cell membranes, store energy, and provide insulation

• made of glycerol and fatty acids

• ​contain C, H, O

​Why do we need to eat?!

• Digestion breaks food down into useful nutrients, so the body can use those nutrients to make the macromolecules it needs

• ​This also gives the body energy to do work (like walk up all the stairs to biology!)

• The nutrients move into the bloodstream, called absorption 

Multiple Select

Which elements are found in ALL macromolecules?

• Carbon

• Phosphorous

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

• Hydrogen
