This macromolecule is very important for growth and development because it assists lipids and helps produce energy for all of life's challenges like sports or running.There are three major types of carbohydrates: sugar, starch, and fiber. Sugar is the most simple form of carbohydrates. Starches and fiber are complex and they produce more energy. More energy is better for development as you grow because it will provide energy for your cells, that will need energy to reproduce and grow. The more cells means faster grow. To make energy, these carbohydrates can be broken down into the blood stream and are converted into blood sugar or glucose. With the help of insulin, glucose is used for energy, This energy can be used for jogging or playing sports. When playtime is over and there is extra energy left, it gets stored in the liver, various muscles, and other cells for later use. When it is not used, it will be converted into fat. This macromolecule can produce energy, which will be important through stages of puberty and throughout life. Proteins are a macromolecule that is very important for the structure, function, and maintaining of organs and tissues. This is very important for growth and development because proteins repair, and increase of growth in weight, height, and to produce more …show more content…
Nucleic acids are a molecule that carries information in cells. (Dispezio, Frank, Heithaus, Ogle 19). Nucleotides are what make up nucleic acid.. This is important for growth and development because without nucleic acid, the cell wouldn’t have a purpose or a function. DNA is the most common nucleic acid. DNA contains the information that cells need to make other molecules. (Dispezio, Frank, Heithaus, Ogle 19) Each nucleotide in DNA tells the cell how much amino acid is needed for a certain protein.RNA is another type of nucleic acid. The genetics passed from DNA is passed to the RNA. Then, RNA sends the genetics to proteins and other organelles in the cell. RNA is essential to the synthesis of proteins, which helps determine how much amino acid is needed, and RNA is a component in the organelle ribosomes. Nucleic acids are important because without it, the cell wouldn’t have a purpose, and the human body wouldn’t
