Question 6 • FL-2000315-Biology 1 CR

Which statements describe the structure of each type of macromolecule? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The building blocks of carbohydrates are sugars that are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
B
The building blocks of lipids are molecules that contain mostly carbon and hydrogen.
C
The building blocks of proteins are amino acids made of carbon and nitrogen only.
D
The building blocks of nucleic acids are nucleotides made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous.

Explanation

Carbohydrates are built from sugars containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, so A is correct. Lipids are made from components such as fatty acids and glycerol, which contain mostly carbon and hydrogen, so B is correct. Amino acids also contain oxygen, so C is incorrect. Nucleotides contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus, making D correct.
