Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the concept of biomolecules. Biomolecules are organic molecules that are essential for life processes. They include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Step 2: Identify the four major groups of biomolecules. These are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Each group has distinct functions and structures.
Step 3: Carbohydrates are primarily used for energy storage and structural purposes. They include sugars and starches.
Step 4: Lipids are used for long-term energy storage, insulation, and making up cell membranes. They include fats, oils, and steroids.
Step 5: Proteins are involved in nearly every cellular function, including catalyzing reactions (enzymes), structural support, and transport. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, store and transmit genetic information.
