Question

Complete the table by comparing carbohydrates, lipids, protein and nucleic acid in terms of
composition, classification and importance.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbs, lipids, and proteins are ALL members of this group ... Sucrose (table sugar) = glucose + fructose ... NO double bonds in long chain fatty acid ... Secondary source or long term storage, insulation,.

Answer 2

Concept: Biomolecules are produced by living organisms.They are the building blocks of living organisms.These are composed of carbon,hydrogen,sulphur etc.There are mainly four types of biomolecules:Carbohydrates,Proteins,Lipids and Nucleic acids.

Answer:The four types of biomolecules are different from each other by their chemical composition ,classification and importance.

Explanation:

• Carbohydrates:

1. Made of simple sugars(carbon,hydrogen,oxygen).
2. They are classified into monosaccharides,disaccharides and polysaccharides.
3. They are main source of energy,stored in plants as starch, stored in animals as glycogen and give structure to plant cell wall.

• Lipids:

1. Made of glycerol and fatty acids.
2. They are classified into simple lipids,compound lipids and derived lipids.
3. They store energy for long term, protective covering and lubrication.

• Proteins:

1. Polymer of amino acids. 
2. They are classified into fibrous, globular and derived protein.
3. They provide structure to cell ,give chemical responses ,helps to form enzymes and increases growth.

• Nucleic acids :

1. Made up of nucleotides.
2. They are classified into DNA and RNA.
3. They store genetic information and required for protein synthesis.
