biomolecules

1. Carbohydrates

   • starches and sugars that bodies use for energy.

2. Nucleic acids

   • central to the function of living cells. Arranged in a linear sequence within DNA, they code for the structure and function of the body's proteins.

3. Proteins

   • workhorses of the body's machinery. Proteins carry out specific functions inside cells, and they act as enzymes to catalyze reactions all over the body.

4. Lipids

   • help the body store the energy it needs in the form of fats and oils.
