What functions do proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids perform?

Carbohydrates:
They help to provide the body with a source of energy or fuel and also help to regulate bodily processes.
Lipids:
They help to store energy and they form the membranes around cells to protect them. Lipid hormones also play a role in some bodily functions.
Proteins:
Proteins such as antibodies and enzymes help fight germs in the body. There are many different types of proteins, some that may fall under these; hormonal proteins, structural proteins, storage proteins, and transport proteins.
Nucleic Acid:
They store hereditary information and they contain information for making all of the body’s proteins.
Hope this helps!!

Fats and oils are usually made up of fatty acids and glycerol. Proteins are a class of macromolecules that can perform a diverse range of functions for the cell. They help in metabolism by providing structural support and by acting as enzymes, carriers or as hormones. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids. ;

Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids are essential macromolecules with distinct functions: proteins serve as enzymes and structural elements, carbohydrates provide energy, lipids store energy and form cell membranes, while nucleic acids carry genetic information. Each macromolecule plays a critical role in maintaining life processes in organisms.
