Explanation:
1. NUCLEIC ACIDS are one of the four biomolecules composed of building blocks (monomers) called nucleotides
2. CARBOHYDRATES are biomolecules made of sugars, whose names commonly end in -ose e.g glucose, fructose etc. But starch and glycogen that doesn't end in -ose are also examples of carbohydrates.
3. PROTEINS are also biological molecules made up of building blocks (monomers) called amino acids.
4. NUCLEIC ACIDS are biomolecules that stores genetic information for cell activities and making proteins.
5. PROTEINS are the biomolecules that build cell structures such as hair (keratin), nails, horns, muscles.
6. LIPIDS are biomolecules used as long term energy storage as they store more energy than any other biomolecule. They serve as insulation, found as a bilayer in cell membranes
7. NUCLEIC ACIDS as biomolecules are of two types including: DNA, RNA.
8. TRIGLYCERIDES are a form of LIPIDS
whose building blocks are glycerol and fatty acids (no true monomer).
9. Enzymes are examples of PROTEIN biomolecules. This means that enzymes are made of proteins.
10. Examples of LIPIDS include: oils, waxes, cuticle waxy coating on leaves
11. GLUCOSE is a CARBOHYDRATE used for quick energy in the cells of living organisms because it can be broken down easily.
12. CARBOHYDRATES are biomolecules whose building blocks (monomers) are monosaccharides like glucose.
13. NUCLEIC ACIDS are made of nucleotides (A, T, G, C, U) held together by hydrogen bonds.
14. BLUBBER is a LIPID that provides insulation for marine mammals.
15. CARBOHYDRATES are the structural component of plant cell wall in the form of cellulose.
