Question

CH2OH О, a CH3 H OH OH Н он Identify the macromolecule pictured above. O a Ob Protein Carbohydrate Lipid , ос Od Nucleic Acid​

Answer 1

Answer:

Although the pictorial representation is not clear but the question can be answered based on the known structure of each biomolecule. The answer is:

Carbohydrate

Explanation:

Carbohydrate is one of the four biological molecules in living systems. Carbohydrates are composed of long chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio i.e (CH2O)n empirical formula.

The structure of carbohydrate is composed of a ketone (C=O) or aldehyde (CHO) functional group and hydroxyll groups (OH). The simplest unit of any carbohydrate is called a monosaccharide. Hence, from the above structure in the question, which consists of long chain of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms, it can be identified as a CARBOHYDRATE.
