Proteins
The building blocks that make up proteins are called amino acids. Proteins consist of 20 different amino acids, mixed and matched to create a vast array of larger molecules that support every process in your body. Digestion of protein results in a pool of single amino acids that your cells incorporate into new proteins as the need arises in your body. These molecules make up muscles and organs, transmit signals between cells, constitute immune molecules, help create the new proteins your tissues require and can serve as a fuel source in a pinch.
Lipids
Unlike the other macromolecules, lipids are not soluble in water, and they don’t form long sequences made up of similar or repeating smaller units. The fats you consume are molecules called triglycerides, consisting of three fatty acids attached to a glycerol. The chemical nature of the fatty acids contained within the lipid determines its physical characteristics. For instance, a fatty acid that is saturated with as many hydrogen atoms as it can hold is solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fatty acids are liquid. These macromolecules store energy within fat tissue, and they cushion your internal organs against trauma. They also form the structure of cell membranes and contribute to the synthesis of hormones.

✴Lipids are fats, which act as insulation for your body.
✴Proteins are building-blocks of energy required by the body to make, repair and move almost everything contained within it: hair, muscles, organs, etc.
