Answer

Macromolecules in human body

             The macromolecules found in human body are:

1. Carbohydrate,

2. Proteins

3. Lipids, and  

4. Nucleic acids.  

Elements they common share

             All these macromolecules have three elements in common which are:

1. Carbon

2. Hydrogen, and

3. Oxygen.  

                   These elements constitute about 95% of human body.

Difference in Chemical properties

                    Carbohydrate is composed of glucose monomers, which may have aldehyde functional group or ketone functional group. Protein is composed of monomers called amino acids. Each amino acid has carboxylic functional group, amino group, alkyl or aryl group and hydrogen atom. Lipid is composed of fatty acids and glycerol. While nucleic acid is composed of monomer called nucleotide. Each nucleotide is composed of pentose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous group. Due to the presence of different functional groups all these macromolecules have chemical properties different from each one

The importance of fat in the diets of our ancestors was mainly a result of ________. question 17 options:
wel

The importance of fat in the diets of our ancestors was mainly a result of its energy-storing properties.

Option B

Explanation:

Earlier ancestors or say, hominids ancestor were at the inception of the evolutionary world developed a trend on eating whatever they could find. The  ancestors are believed to be scavengers rather than hunters as the evolutionary and nutrition biology suggests.

They had to travel and work for the food and as they were scavengers, it was not guaranteed to have food on a daily basis, so the fat has energy storing properties and for which its importance was realized in the diet. Later when they became hunters, protein became more important in their diet.
