Verified step by step guidance

Understand the primary functions of each macromolecule type: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Phospholipids, and Nucleic Acids.

Recall that carbohydrates are the primary energy storage molecules in living organisms. They are broken down into glucose, which is used in cellular respiration to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Proteins primarily function in structural support, enzymatic activity, and cellular signaling, rather than energy storage.

Phospholipids are key components of cell membranes and are not primarily used for energy storage.

Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information, not energy storage.
