⚫️Proteins-

✔️Structural Protein

sequence of amino acids (genes) determine structure; collagen

✔️Functional Protein

support determines function

⚫️Carbohydrates-

starches, found in whole grain cereal and brown rice; provide energy

⚫️Nucleic acid-

one or two long chains of repeating units called nucleotides, which consist of a nitrogen base (a purine or pyrimidine) attached to a sugar phosphate. (DNA or RNA)

⚫️Lipids-

(fats, phospholipids, steroids) insoluble in water, release a large amount of energy when metabolized
