Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
During chemical reactions, the bonds in molecules are continually broken and reformed. When bonds are broken, energy
is released. When bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. If more energy is released than absorbed during a chemical
change, the process can be used as a source of energy. A general rule for processes such as respiration is the more carbon
atoms there are in a molecule, the more energy that molecule can provide to the organism when it is used as food.
1. Using the information from your molecules, which macromolecule (carbohydrate, lipid, or protein) is more likely
to be a good source of energy for an organism? Use specific comparative data (from page 1) to support your
answer.
