Protein - Enzyme
To match the macromolecules with the examples provided, we need to identify the correct macromolecule for each example. Let's start by understanding the characteristics of each macromolecule and then match them accordingly:
1. Enzyme: Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biological reactions. They help accelerate chemical reactions in cells. Therefore, the correct macromolecule for the Enzyme example is Protein.
2. DNA: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a type of nucleic acid that carries the genetic information in living organisms. It is responsible for transmitting hereditary characteristics from parents to offspring. Therefore, the correct macromolecule for the DNA example is Nucleic Acid.
3. Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is a type of fat that comes from the fruit of the coconut palm. Fats, also known as lipids, are molecules that store energy and provide insulation and protection to organs. Therefore, the correct macromolecule for the Coconut Oil example is Lipid.
4. Glucose: Glucose is a simple sugar and the primary source of energy for living organisms. It is a carbohydrate that is easily broken down and used by cells to produce energy. Therefore, the correct macromolecule for the Glucose example is Carbohydrate.
So, the matching would be as follows:
- Enzyme: Protein
- DNA: Nucleic Acid
- Coconut Oil: Lipid
- Glucose: Carbohydrate
