Summary Introduction

To determine:

“How the four molecules are different from each other and also relate the structure to its function”.

Introduction:

There are four different biomolecules are present in nature: carbohydrate, protein, lipid and nucleic acid. These biomolecules are essential for life. They all have different composition and perform different functions. Carbohydrate act as energy storing molecules, protein forms the structural component of cells; nucleic acid store the genetic information of cell and lipid forms the cell membrane.
