The four macromolecules that are essential to life are Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It provides energy for the body, especially the brain and the nervous system. The food sources are in sugar and grains.
Lipids
Lipids are made up of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. It provides
Energy storage, acting as structural components of cell membranes, and hormone production. The food sources are in fatty acids, dairy, and trygycerols.
Proteins
Proteins are made up of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon. It provides energy storage, basic building blocks of living things and is responsible for the growth and repair of body cells and tissues. The food sources are in vegetables, meats, and grains.
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic Acids are made up of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and phosphorous. It stores and transmits genetic material and Synthesis of Proteins. The food sources are seafood, nuts, vegetables, mushrooms, yeast, beef, broths and, soups.
