Categorize the functions of macronutrients
Document Content and Description Below
Categorize the functions of macronutrients as either "act at the cellular level" or "do not act at the cellular level". Lipids: structural (phospholipid bilayer) Protein: defensive (antibodies) Li... pids: thermal & mechanical insulation Protein: mobility (cilia, flagellum) Carbohydrate: structural (chitin) Protein: structural (cell transport proteins) Lipids: energy source (fatty acids) Protein: enzymes Nucleic Acids: enzymes (ribosomes) Nucleic Acids: energy carriers Protein: structural (glycoproteins) Protein: structural (shells, claws, hair) Carbohydrate: energy source (glucose) Lipids: cell-to-cell communication (hormones) Protein: cell-to-cell communication (hormones, neurotransmitters) Carbohydrate: energy storage (glycogen, amylose) Protein: structural (microtubules) Lipids: structural (waxes like cutin) Carbohydrate: structural (cell wall) Carbohydrate: cell-to-cell communication (glycoproteins) Lipids: energy storage (fats) Nucleic Acids: hereditary information (DNA, RNA) [Show More]
