Your friend is really irritable while sitting in class. He feels lightheaded and dizzy. He is also feeling a bit of confusion and brain fog.

What inferences are most realistic to make about the biomolecules in your friend's body?

• He is running low on fast sources of energy

• Proteins are being broken down or reshaped

• The coding information in the cell is incorrect or incomplete

• There is not enough insulation or energy storage

Dystrophin is a molecule that holds muscle fibers together. In people with muscular dystrophy, a genetic disease that causes people to lose the ability to walk at a young age, dystrophin molecules never develop.

What can you infer about the biomolecules of affected individuals? (select all correct answers)

• There is a lack of sources of fast energy

• A biomolecule is missing

• The coding information in the cell is incomplete or incorrect

• If removes insulation and long term energy storage

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

Select the rectangle that best answers the question.

Match the word to the correct definition

• the substrate and enzyme together

• enzyme

• a protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up a chemical reaction

• enzyme substrate complex

• what is created from the chemical reaction that occurs between enzymes and substrates

• Active site

• the location on the enzyme where the substrate attaches

• products
