Proteins are primarily used for energy storage in cells.

Proteins perform a variety of functions including catalyzing reactions, providing structure, and facilitating communication within and between cells.

Proteins are only involved in the immune response of the body.

Proteins serve as the main source of genetic information in cells.

Carbohydrates provide energy for photosynthesis.

Carbohydrates, particularly cellulose, provide structural support in plant cell walls.

Carbohydrates are primarily used for water storage in plants.

Carbohydrates help in the absorption of nutrients from the soil.

A type of protein that consists of amino acids.

The simplest form of carbohydrates, consisting of a single sugar molecule, such as glucose.

A complex carbohydrate made of multiple sugar molecules.

A lipid that is soluble in water.

Saturated fats have no double bonds between carbon atoms, while unsaturated fats have one or more double bonds, making them liquid at room temperature.

Saturated fats are always solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats are always liquid.

Saturated fats contain more calories than unsaturated fats, making them less healthy.

Unsaturated fats are derived from animal sources, while saturated fats come from plant sources.
