1 Answer

The four major types of biomolecules and their primary functions are:

  1. Carbohydrates: Energy storage, structural support (e.g., cellulose in plants)
  2. Proteins: Enzymes, structural components, transport molecules, hormones
  3. Lipids: Energy storage, cell membrane components, hormones
  4. Nucleic acids: Storage and transmission of genetic information (DNA and RNA)

These biomolecules work together to maintain the structure and function of living organisms, enabling processes like metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
