How would you differentiate the 4 biomolecules?
The major difference between 4 classes of biomolecules is the type of units they are composed of and the function they are performing-
Proteins- proteins are made up of amino acids and are structural and functional components of cells.
Lipids- composed of fatty acids and glycerol and work as energy storage and components of cell membrane.
Nucleic Acid- polymer of dNTPs and rNTPs and work as genetic material for the cells.
Sugars- polyhydroxy aldehyde and ketones. Polymerize to make polysaccharides. Important constituent of cell wall and energy generating molecules.
