They are created by a long chain of amino acids . They are organic compounds and are mainly made of carbon, hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen,sulfur, and phosphorus. There are 4 types of proteins: globular proteins,membrane proteins,fibrous proteins, and intrinsically disordered proteins. Some types of proteins are hydrophobic (Tomi,2019). Proteins are very strong, in consequence they are useful for structural elements in the body, for example, muscles, bones, hair, and connective tissues . Proteins have many uses in the body, this includes: enzymes, hormones, and antibodies. Proteins provide structure and are used to transport materials in cells. Proteins are found in: meat, eggs, and fish (Carr,2018).

They also protect important organs, they are a high energy source (LT, 2020).

The main function of carbohydrates is to provide energy to the body. Carbohydrates also play an important role in the structure and function of our cells, tissues and organs (EUFIC, 2020).

The main function of nucleic acid is the storage and expression of genetic information, they also regulate cellular activities. This molecule stores information (NIH, n.d.)

The main functions of protein are: they repair and build body´s tissue, make metabolic reactions, and coordinate body functions. Proteins maintain and help tissue grow, they create enzymes, some proteins are hormones, they provide structure, ans transport nutrients around the body (Van De Walle, 2018).

Examples of these lipids are steroids, grease and waxes.
