Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1) The majority of ALL living things is made of water. This accounts for 70% of your body. A small percentage of ions and small molecules are found in all living things. An example of this would be amino acids and hormones. About 25% of ALL living things are composed of large molecules called biomolecules. They come in four types: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. The majority of these large molecules (more than half) are Proteins (in cell). **Please note carbohydrate is most abundant in nature but proteins is most abundant in cells.

There are two types of nucleic acids, they are Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA). They are composed (made of) smaller pieces called nucleotides that are put together by enzymes, a type of Polymerase. (Another biomolecule). The main function of nucleic acids is to carry genetic information and code for making proteins

2) Label each food with a “U” for unsaturated fat, an “S” for saturated fat, or a “T” for trans fat

Product Fat Tuna fish Unsaturated (U) French fries Saturated (S) - 100grams of french fries contains 2.3g saturated fat and 0.1gram transfat. So majority of it contains saturated fat hamburger Saturated (S) (5g is saturated fat and 0.8gram is transfat per 100 g hamburger) butter Saturated (S) Peanut oil Unsaturated (U) Moz. Sticks Saturated (11g saturated fat and 0.4g trans fat per 100g Moz. Sticks) milk Saturated (S) olive oil Unsaturated (U) (Majority is monounsaturated fat) steak Saturated fat (S) fried chicken Saturated fat (S) (3.3 gram is saturated fat and 0.1gram is trans fat per 100g fried chicken)
