Match the biomolecule with it's functions:

• Nucleic Acids

• Help regulate hormones.

  Store energy in the form of body fat (insulation).

  Responsible for cell membrane tension, rigidity, and shape.

• Carbohydrates

• Store and process genetic information.

  Direct cell processes (such as cell division and protein synthesis).

• Proteins

• Provide quick energy source for cells (body’s first source of energy).

  Make up plant cell walls (cellulose or chitin).

  Form specialized sites on the cell surface that allow cells to recognize each other.

• Lipids

• Biochemical catalysts, enzymes and hormones.

  Protect against disease (antibodies).

  Provide structural support and aid muscle movement.

  Regulate the passage of substances across the cell membrane.

  Coordinate cell communication.
