They have different structures and are made of different elements. They also have very different functions.
Lipids are any of a diverse group of organic compounds including fats, oils, hormones, and certain components of membranes that are grouped together because they do not interact appreciably with water.
One type of lipid, the triglycerides, is sequestered as fat in adipose cells, which serve as the energy-storage depot for organisms and also provide thermal insulation.
Some lipids such as steroid hormones serve as chemical messengers between cells, tissues, and organs, and others communicate signals between biochemical systems within a single cell.
The membranes of cells and organelles (structures within cells) are microscopically thin structures formed from two layers of phospholipid molecules.
An important characteristic of nucleic acids is their ability to carry information from genes in the cell nucleus to certain structures in the cytoplasm that direct major biochemical processes.
No, it produces DNA.
No. Nucleotides contain carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Nucleic Acids, and Proteins.
CARBOHYDRATES- polymers of sugars LIPIDS- polymers of fatty acids PROTEINS- polymers of amino acids NUCLEIC ACIDS- polymers of nucleotides
Nucleic Acid
Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).
The four major macromolecules are: lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and proteins. Lipids: Ear Wax Carbohydrates: Glucose, Sucrose, Lactose Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA Proteins: Everywhere! Muscles, skin, and hair. :)
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.
Lipids carbohydrates proteins Nucleic Acids
No, lipids are fatty acids and carbohydrates are sugars. These are both chemically distinct from nucleic acids.
