  • They are a group of organic compounds containing hydrogen, oxygen and carbon (Carballido,2019), some of their characteristics is that They have the general chemical formula Cn (H2O) n or are derivatives of such,The simplest carbohydrates contain either an aldehyde group (these are termed polyhydroxy aldehydes) or a ketone group (polyhydroxy ketones), they contain large quantities of hydroxyl groups, Carbohydrate is also involved as structural components in cells, such as cellulose, which is found in the cell walls of the plants and chitin which is main component of fungal cell wall (Kaur,N/A). They can be found in sugars, starches and fibers,fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products. (Szalay,2017)

  •  Is a macronutrient that is essential to building muscle mass. It is commonly found in animal products, beans, peas, eggs (Szalay,2015). Some important characteristics of the proteins ar that they are made up of amino acids, proteins have different properties but all of them can be super strong,The structure, and ultimately the function, of a protein molecule can be disrupted in several ways,proteins can be metabolized by organisms for the stored energy(Carr,2018)

  • Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of the structure and function of living cells (Greenwood,N/A). Some characteristics are that they are insoluble in water, they have no ionic charges, Solid triglycerols (Fats) have high proportions of saturated fatty acids,they are energy-rich organic molecules,soluble in organic solvents like alcohol, chloroform, acetone, benzene, etc (Aryal,2018). We can find lipids on fats, vegetable oils, seafood,nuts,steroids,waxes,vitamins,phospholipids(YourDictionary,N/A)

  • Is a chain of nucleotides which stores genetic information in biological systems, it can be found in DNA and RNA(Buckley,2021). Some characteristics of nucleic acids are that they have phosphate, sugar and a base ( Galindo,2021)

    Proteins:     Proteins have the most diverse range of functions. Proteins may help on structure, regulation, contractile or in Enzymes. Also, they can function as hormones. Enzymes, helps you in catalysts in biochemical reaction (digestion). “Enzymes can function to break molecular bonds, to rearrange bonds, or to form new bonds. An example of an enzyme is salivary amylase, which breaks down amylose, a component of starch.” (BCampus. 2020)

    Lipids:     Lipids are the ones performing different things between a cell. The lipids help in the storage of energy. This said, they insulate the body from the environment. Finally, they help or are building blocks of some hormones.
