Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following answers links a biomolecule with one of its proper functions?
A
Lipids-Store genetic information
B
Carbohydrates-short term energy storage
C
Nucleic Acids-Catalyze reactions
D
Proteins-long term energy storage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Biomolecules include: carbohydrates-short term energy storage molecules. lipids-long term energy storage molecules. proteins-repair and maintenance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates: a molecule that is used by many plants and animals to store energy for a short time.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are five primary functions of carbohydrates in the human body. They are energy production, energy storage, building macromolecules, sparing protein, and assisting in lipid metabolism.

Detailed explanation-4: -But the four major types of biomolecules include carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Most of the other compounds are derivatives of these major primary compounds. Every biomolecule has its characteristics and is designated to perform some specific function essential for life.

Detailed explanation-5: -The answer is a. Carbohydrates, lipids and proteins are usually used to provide energy in an organism. Carbohydrates are the primary sources of energy and if the carbohydrate storage gets depleted, the lipids and proteins start to get metabolized.
