4. proteins c. amino acids
To match each type of complex molecule to the type of simpler molecule it is broken down into, you can follow these general breakdown processes:
1. Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are broken down into monosaccharides.
2. Nucleic acids: Nucleic acids are broken down into nucleotides.
3. Lipids: Lipids are broken down into fatty acids.
4. Proteins: Proteins are broken down into amino acids.
So, the matching would be as follows:
Column A
1. Carbohydrates: monosaccharides
2. Nucleic acids: nucleotides
3. Lipids: fatty acids
4. Proteins: amino acids
Remember, this is a simplified breakdown and, in reality, the process can be more complex with multiple steps involved in the breakdown of these molecules.
