To determine whether a macromolecule is a carbohydrate, fat, protein, or nucleic acid, you can analyze its structure and composition. Carbohydrates typically consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio, while fats (lipids) are made up of glycerol and fatty acids. Proteins are composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, and nucleic acids, like DNA and RNA, are made of nucleotides containing a sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base. Techniques such as biochemical assays, chromatography, or spectroscopy can also assist in identification.
is steroid a carbohydrate, protein lipid or nucleic acid
Insulin is a protein.
Nucleotides are Nucleic Acids. They are the monomers(sub-units) of Nucleic Acids.
A protein with sidegroup carbohydrate "decorations".
It is a lipid. It is not a protein since it is not a chain of amino acids; it is not a carbohydrate because it doesn't follow the formula CmH2nOn; and it is not a nucleic acid since it is not a chain of nucleotides.
Carbohydrates are the macromolecule that performs both energy storage and structural functions in living organisms.Glucose is an example of a carbohydrate that stores chemical energy and cellulose is a carbohydrate that provides structural support in plant cell walls.
It is a nucleic acid.
yes
Glucose is grouped as a Carbohydrate.
fruits are carbohydrate and protein vegetables are lipids
No, steroids are lipids.
lipid
