B. Mineralsandvitaminsareimportantnutritionalmoleculesbecausetheyfunctionas cofactors for critical enzymes in living systems. Without them, important biochemical reactions required for growth and tissue repair will not occur. Knowing this, explain the biochemical significance of folate and iron supplementation in pregnant women and women of reproductive age. Consider the effects of folate and iron deficiency as well.

1A. The different types of molecules found in cells are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates provide energy to the body, particularly through glucose, a simple sugar. Carbohydrates also have other important functions in humans, animals, and plants. Carbohydrates are classified into three subtypes monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of lipids called fats. They provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals. Lipids are also the building blocks of many hormones and are an important constituent of the plasma membrane. They include fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids.
