What is the group of organic compounds used to form parts of a cell?
Carbohydrates, Proteins and Lipids are groups of organic compounds used to form parts of a cell.
Are carbohydrates used for long term energy storage?

Which macromolecule gives the body energy to carry out cell functions?
The macromolecule that makes up around half of the calories you should eat in a day is carbohydrates. Other macromolecules that are important to your diet are proteins and fats.
Explain the role of membrane carbohydrates in cell-cell recognition?
membrane carbohydrates are used for the selection of cells to make tissues, and the rejection of foreign cells (like in your blood). Cells recognize each other by binding to surface molecules, often carbohydrates, on the plasma membrane. Membrane carbohydrates may be covalently bonded to lipids of more commonly proteins (forming glycoproteins). Carbohydrates on the external side of the plasma membrane vary among species, individuals, and even cell types in an individual
What part of the cell makes and transports lipids and carbohydrates?
The Cell Membrane is the part of the cell that makes lipids and carbohydrates. It transports these parts, as well.
Which describes another common use for carbohydrates?
Cellulose is used as a structural component in plant cell walls.
Do carbohydrates repair cell walls?
No
How are carbohydrates used in cellular respiration?
Carbohydrates are broken down in order to form molecules of ATP, the "energy currency" of the cell, and which contains energy in a form that cells can use to do work.
What role do carbohydrates play in the health of a cell?
Cells are supplied with the energy they need to function from carbohydrates.
