ANSWER KEY
A: Polymer: Simple Lipid
Monomer: Glycerol, 3 fatty acids (saturated)
Function: storage of energy, cushion vital organs, insulation
B: Polymer: n/a
Monomer: Monosaccharide (glucose)
Function: Direct, quick source of energy
C: Polymer: Protein
Monomer: Amino Acids
Function: transport, signal, hemoglobin, enzyme, storage, defense, structural
D: Polymer: DNA
Monomer: nucleotides (deoxyribose, phosphate, nitrogen base)
Function: carries genetic information; provides sequence to make proteins
E: Polymer: Sterol
Monomer: 3 six-sided rings, 1 five-sided ring, alcohol
Function: vital for cell function, steroid hormones (testosterone, estrogen)
F: Polymer: Disaccharide (sucrose)
Monomer: Monosaccharides (glucose, fructose)
Function: table sugar/food products
G: Polymer: Phospholipid
Monomer: phosphate group, glycerol, 2 fatty acids (saturated and unsaturated)
Function: makes up cell membranes
H: Polymer: RNA
Monomer: nucleotides (ribose, phosphate group, nitrogen bases)
Function: intermediate for making proteins
