24/25 SI 5 L1 - Carbohydrates

A monosaccharide is the monomer for which biomolecule:

• Lipid

• Carbohydrate

• Nucleic Acid

• Protein

What does a carbohydrate structure look like?

What do monomers do?

• Bond to make a polymer
• Create essential proteins
• Stores energy
• Splits to make more cells

Which organic molecule would a long-distance runner most likely choose to eat two hours before a race?

• A protein, because it builds muscle mass.

• A lipid because it provides long term energy storage.

• A carbohydrate because it releases energy quickly.

• A protein, because it transports oxygen into the blood stream.

How do you feel after answering these biomolecule questions?

• I understand the topic well

• I may need a little review

• I have to study/maybe tutoring

• I'm completely lost and definitely need tutoring
