A team of molecular biology researchers is trying to increase the value of agricultural seeds for livestock feed.To increase the store of metabolically useful energy in the seeds, the researchers should focus on increasing which of the following macromolecules?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipids and starches are macromolecules that serve as energy reserves in seeds. Increasing their concentration would increase the metabolically useful energy available in the seeds for livestock feed. DNA and nucleic acids, germination inhibitors, proteins and amino acids, cellulose and lignin are not directly related to energy storage in seeds.
