About this resource
This quiz focuses on the fundamental biomolecules essential to life, specifically targeting the four major macromolecules: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. The content is appropriate for 9th-grade high school biology students who are beginning their comprehensive study of biological chemistry. Students need to understand the structural composition of each biomolecule class, including their monomeric building blocks (amino acids, monosaccharides, nucleotides, and fatty acids) and their primary biological functions. The quiz requires knowledge of polymer formation through dehydration synthesis and breakdown through hydrolysis, as well as the ability to identify biomolecules based on their elemental composition and functional roles in living organisms. Students must distinguish between the energy storage capabilities of different molecules, recognize the structural components that make up complex biological polymers, and understand how molecular structure relates to biological function. Created by Jasmine Khaleel, a Biology teacher in the US who teaches grade 9. This assessment serves as an excellent tool for reinforcing students' understanding of macromolecular biology through multiple instructional contexts. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a pre-lesson warmup to gauge prior knowledge, assign it as homework to reinforce classroom learning, or implement it as a formative assessment to identify areas requiring additional instruction. The visual identification questions paired with conceptual understanding items make this particularly effective for review sessions before unit exams. This quiz directly supports NGSS HS-LS1-6 (construct explanations for how molecular interactions determine the structure and function of biological macromolecules) and aligns with Common Core standards for scientific literacy in reading complex informational texts and applying scientific reasoning to biological concepts.
