Match each biomolecule to its function based on the diagram.
ALipids
BCarbohydrates
CNucleic acids
DProteins
Explanation
📌 The four biomolecules and their primary functions: • Carbohydrates → quick energy (glucose, starch) • Lipids → long-term energy, cell membranes • Proteins → building, repair, enzymes • Nucleic acids → store genetic info (DNA, RNA)
Question 2 of 7
TEKS 10A-10CEasy Image
The image shows the human respiratory system. Which structure is the primary site of gas exchange?
ATrachea
BAlveoli
CBronchi
DLarynx
Explanation
Gas exchange (O₂ ↔ CO₂) happens at the alveoli, where their thin walls allow gases to diffuse between air and capillary blood.
Question 3 of 7
TEKS 9A-9DEasy Diagram
Which biomolecule serves primarily as long-term energy storage?
ACarbohydrates
BProteins
CLipids (fats / oils)
DNucleic acids
Explanation
Lipids store about twice the energy per gram as carbohydrates → ideal for long-term energy storage. Carbs are quick-access energy.
Question 4 of 7
TEKS 10A-10CEasy Diagram
The diagram shows the heart's four chambers. Which chamber pumps oxygenated blood to the body?
ALeft atrium
BLeft ventricle
CRight atrium
DRight ventricle
Explanation
The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood out through the aorta to the body. Right ventricle sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
Question 5 of 7
TEKS 11A-12FEasy Word Image
In the food web below, what would happen if all the frogs were removed?
ASnake population increases
BNothing changes
CAll organisms die
DInsect population increases and snake population decreases
Explanation
📌 If frogs are removed: • Insects (grasshoppers) they ate would INCREASE (no predator) • Snakes that ate frogs would DECREASE (less food) • This demonstrates how removing one species affects the entire food web.
Question 6 of 7
TEKS 11A-12FEasy Word Diagram
The diagram shows a carbon cycle. Which process RELEASES carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
ACondensation
BNitrogen fixation
CPhotosynthesis
DCellular respiration
Explanation
📌 Processes that RELEASE CO₂: • Cellular respiration (animals AND plants) • Combustion (burning fossil fuels) • Decomposition
Process that ABSORBS CO₂: • Photosynthesis
Question 7 of 7
TEKS 9A-9DEasy Diagram
The diagram shows the four biomolecule types. Which is built from amino acids?
ACarbohydrates
BProteins
CNucleic acids
DLipids
Explanation
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Carbohydrates → monosaccharides; lipids → fatty acids/glycerol; nucleic acids → nucleotides.
