What is the main function of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids?

They function as the main compounds that create the living beings and are present in most of the reactions that take place in them.

Carbohydrates are main foods of living beings and also participate between the metabolic reactions.

Functions of some carbohydrates:

1. Glisaraldihyde- Is an intermediate component in many of the metabolic reactions including, breathing and . Is a derivative of the first carbohydrate created in photosynthesis (Phosphoglisaraldihyde)

2. Dihydroxy asitone- Is an intermediate component in metabolic reactions.

3. Erithrose- Is a structural carbohydrate of the bacterial cell wall.

4. Ribose- Is a building component of RNA. Participates in the creation of ATP, NDP, FAD, NDAP.

5. Deoxyribose- Is a building component of DNA.

6. Rubulose- Is a ##CO_2## receptor compound that participates in photosynthesis. Present in RuBP.

7. Glucose- Is a breathing surface and helps to create energy.

8. Sucrose- Is the form the food synthesized in photosynthesis is transported from the leaves to the places where they will be stored. Is a storage carbohydrate in sugar cane.

9. Lactose- Is a storage carbohydrate in mamals' breast milk.

10. Starch- Is the form the food is stored in plants.

11. Celiulose- Is a structural carbohydrate present in plant cell walls.

12. Innulean- Is a storage carbohydrate present in Composite plants.

13. Glicogen- Is the form the food is stored in animals.

14. Pectine- is a structural carbohydrate in plant cell walls.

15. Hemiceliulose- Is a structural carbohydrate in plant cell walls.

16. Chitene- Forms the cell wall of fungi and the outer schelitone of insects.

17. Murine- Is a structural carbohydrate in bacterial cell wall.

1. Structural Proteins- Collagen
2. Transporter Proteins- Hemoglobin, Mioglobin, Sitocrom
3. Storage Proteins- Albumeen
4. Toxic - Snake poison
5. Protective- Histamine
6. Contractile- Miosin
7. Hormone- Adrinaleen
8. Enzymes- Sucrase, Insiuleen

1. Oils- Helps as energy stores.
2. Fat- Helps animals such as whales to float. Helps animals with energy storing.
3. Pospolipids- Forms the cellular membrane.
4. Cholesterole- Helps to keep the cellular membrane solid.
5. Steroids- Function as hormones.
6. Waxes- Function as water proofing compounds in the outer cover of the plant leaves. Are present in the insects' wings. Are present in bee waxes.

1. Controls all the cellular activities. DNA 2. Give the code for proteins. DNA 3. Stores and transports genetic information. DNA, RNA(in some viruses) 4. Helps the creation of new . DNA
