Question 16 Match each type of complex molecule to the type of simpler molecule that it is broken down into. 1 Column A carbohydrates Column B nucleotides 2 nucleic acids fatty acids 3 proteins monosaccarides amino acids

1 answer

To match each type of complex molecule to the type of simpler molecule it is broken down into, you can use the following pairings:

  1. Carbohydrates - Monosaccharides
  2. Nucleic Acids - Nucleotides
  3. Proteins - Amino Acids
  4. Fatty Acids (this doesn't have a pairing in your list, but typically refer to lipids) - Glycerol and Fatty Acids (usually broken down into these components)

So, the correct matches are:

  • Carbohydrates → Monosaccharides
  • Nucleic Acids → Nucleotides
  • Proteins → Amino Acids

Please note that fatty acids are not matched with a corresponding complex molecule in your original question, as they typically pertain to lipids. Let me know if you need additional information!
