What are the different types of biomolecules?

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for the body. They play a vital role in energy production. When digested, carbohydrates are converted into glucose, which provides a quick burst of energy for the body.

Proteins

Proteins are essential components of organisms. They participate in almost every cellular process, from catalyzing metabolic reactions and cell signaling to transportation of molecules, DNA replication, and construction of cell and tissue structures. 

Lipids

Lipids are stored as fats in adipose tissues and play a critical role in energy storage.

Nucleic Acids

The primary function of nucleic acids is storage of heritage information. There are two types of nucleic acids. DNA stores genetic information and directs biological development. RNA has enzymatic activity in some organisms and acts as genetic material in some viruses.
