Biology Macromolecules (Carbon Compounds and Enzymes)

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for living organisms.

Proteins serve as enzymes, antibodies, and hormones, and are involved in tissue repair.

Carbon is the element that is present in all organic compounds.

DNA and RNA are examples of nucleic acids.

The basic building block of a protein is an amino acid.

Lipids are primarily used for long-term energy storage and insulation.

Enzymes act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions in the body.

The monomers of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides.

The primary function of nucleic acids is to store and transmit genetic information.

The two main types of nucleic acids are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
