• Daughter cells

What are the monomers, or building blocks, of a protein?

• Cells

• DNA

• Amino acids

• Proteins

What determines the function of a protein?

• The sequence of amino acids and the shape of the protein

• The protein must fill out job applications

• All proteins serve the same function

• The number of lipids in the protein

This biomolecule stores genetic information and acts as the code for all living things.

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

• Proteins

• Nucleic Acids

This biomolecule serves as the building block for our bodies and is used to make muscles, tendons, ligaments, hair, skin, nails, and more. It also helps transport large molecules across a cell membrane.
