Use the picture to answer the following question.
Part A: What is one of the functions of this
macromolecule in living organisms?
A. heredity
B. insulation
C. quick energy
D. plant cell wall structure
Part B: In 1-2 sentences, justify your answer choice wit
reasoning.

Answer 1

The given diagram represents a macromolecule found in living cells.

Part A: One of the functions of this macromolecule in living organisms is D. plant cell wall structure.

Part B: This is justified because the diagram shows a linear structure, which is characteristic of cellulose molecules that make up plant cell walls. Cellulose provides structural support to plant cells, allowing them to maintain their shape and rigidity. Therefore, the macromolecule shown in the diagram is likely cellulose, which is responsible for the plant cell wall structure.
