Biomolecules Graphic Organizer

Biological molecules are substances produced by cells and living organisms, categorized into four main types: carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Each type has a distinct chemical composition and functions, such as energy storage, genetic information transfer, and structural support. Examples include glucose and starch for carbohydrates, fats and oils for lipids, DNA and RNA for nucleic acids, and various enzymes and hormones for proteins.
