Question 42 • Biology

Which is a difference between proteins and carbohydrates and fats?

Answer
A
Excess carbohydrates and fats are stored; excess proteins are not.
B
Proteins are composed of monomers; carbohydrates and fats are not.
C
Proteins are macromolecules; carbohydrates and fats are not.
D
Carbohydrates and fats contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; proteins do not.

Explanation

The body can store excess carbohydrates as glycogen and excess fats in adipose tissue. Proteins are mainly used to build and repair tissues and are not stored as a dedicated energy reserve; excess amino acids are broken down instead. Choice B is wrong because carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are all large biological molecules.
