Question

What type of molecule is represented by the model below?
Fat

Carbohydrate

Steroid


Protein

Answer 1

I can help you! :) For starters, this image is a macromolecule. There are at least 6 carbon bonds here. My first guess would be a carbohydrate, but let me check my notes, okay?

Answer 2

okay thank you so much!

Answer 3

you're very welcome! And whew, I am glad I checked my notes. This is actually a steroid molecule, and from what I've found in my notes, this is a cortisone molecule. Steroid molecules generally have a few H3C and CH3 bonds, and they're always carbon-based. So if you see another question like that, you're best guess is steroid. Does that help you get it better?

Answer 4

Yes know I understand !! once again thank you!

Answer 5

you are so welcome! Just mention me if you ever need anymore help in this subject (or pretty much any subject except chemistry and math). :D

Answer 6

Sure will!
