Bowhead whales can have a specialized layer of blubber up to 30 cm’s thick. This acts as a special insulation that traps the heat their muscles create from movement.

What biomolecule is the blubber primarily made of?

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

• Proteins

• Nucleic Acids

Which biomolecule contains fats, oils, and waxes?

• Proteins
• Nucleic Acid
• Lipids
• Carbohydrate

How are the functions of a carbohydrate and a lipid similar?

• Both are a source of energy.

• Both are replicated during meiosis.

• Both lower the activation energy of reactions.

• Both dissolve nutrients in the digestive system.
