Question

1. what are the functions of each of the macromolecules?

○ carbohydrates:
○ lipids:
○ proteins:
○ nucleic acids

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are the main energy - source for cells. Lipids function in energy storage, insulation, and as components of cell membranes. Proteins have diverse functions such as catalyzing reactions (enzymes), providing structural support, and transporting substances. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) store and transmit genetic information and are involved in protein synthesis.

Answer:

Carbohydrates: Main energy - source for cells.
Lipids: Energy storage, insulation, membrane components.
Proteins: Catalysis, structural support, transport.
Nucleic Acids: Store and transmit genetic information, involved in protein synthesis.
