Key Concepts

Proteins

Proteins are made up of amino acid chains and perform a variety of functions including catalysis of metabolic reactions, structural support, and signaling within and between cells. They are vital for almost every process within living organisms.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are organic compounds that serve as a primary energy source for organisms. They include sugars, starches, and fibers, which are critical for energy storage and structural components in cells.

Lipids

Lipids are a diverse group of hydrophobic molecules that include fats, oils, and steroids. They are essential for energy storage, insulation, and forming the structural basis of cell membranes.

Nucleic Acids

Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, store and transmit genetic information. They play a crucial role in the regulation of cellular activities and ensure the inheritance of genetic traits through reproduction.
