Question

For each biomolecule below, match the benefit provided to the body

a. Protein 1. Insulation and long-term energy
b. Lipids 2. Build lean muscle and strengthen tendons
c. Carbohydrates 3. Repair and Replicate DNA and RNA
d. Nucleic Acids 4. Provides quick, easily digested energy

Answer 1

1. Protein - build lean muscle and strengthen tendons

2. Lipids - insulation and long-term energy

3. Carbohydrates - provides quick, easily digested energy

4. Nucleic Acids - repair and replicate DNA and RNA

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Think of protein as what helps your muscles grow and strengthen

b. Think of lipids as fats (blubber, the extra fat, helps insulate seals from the cold)

c. carbohydrates are found in starch and bread products, and are used to help build up energy prior to marathons.
