The difference between Carbohydrates (sugars) and Lipids:
1) sugars disolve in water lipids don't
2) sugars are made-up of subunits that form large polymers and lipids are not and don't form polymers.
3)Lipids store more energy than sugars.
4) sugars form stuctural components (cellulose in plants) and lipids form bountaries like the cell membrane due to hydrophobic hydrocarbons.

∙ 13y agoI'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but if you're talking about what is the difference in what these molecules are made of, proteins have amino acids (that's what they're made of), and carbohydrates and lipids do not. Proteins also have a primary, secondary, and tertiary structure that is not present in carbohydrates and lipids.
Carbohydrates are made of sugar, and lipids are made of fatty acids and glycerol. DL

What are the 4 main categories of macromolecules in a cell?
Lipids carbohydrates proteins Nucleic Acids
The four main categories of large biological molecules?
CARBOHYDRATES, NUCLEIC ACID,LIPIDS, AND PROTEIN
What are the 4 classes of macromolecules?
Lipids (oils and fats), Carbohydrates [Saccharides (Sugars) and Fibers etc.), Nucleic Acids, and Proteins (You can get from Meat, Eggs, etc.)Carbohydrates (e.g. glucose, sucrose), proteins (e.g. enzymes, transporters, receptors), lipids (e.g. phospholipids, cholesterol), nucleic acids (e.g. DNA, RNA).
What are the four types of biomolecules?
Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
The four major groups of organic compounds?
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins and Nucleic Acids.
How does the absorption of lipids differ from absorption of carbohydrates and proteins?
Lipids do not dissolve as easily as carbohydrates and proteins. Carbohydrates and proteins are readily absorbed by the digestive system and provide the top sources of energy. The lipids tend to clog up the blood and should be avoided.
How do carbohydrates proteins and lipids differ in structure and function?
because sum reason
What are the four macromolecules of life?
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
How does absorption of lipids differ from absorption of carbohydrates and proteins?
Lipids do not dissolve as easily as carbohydrates and proteins. Carbohydrates and proteins are readily absorbed by the digestive system and provide the top sources of energy. The lipids tend to clog up the blood and should be avoided.
What element is found in proteins but not in in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
What elements is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
What are the 4 main categories of macromolecules in a cell?
Lipids carbohydrates proteins Nucleic Acids
How are the organic molecules proteins carbohydrates and lipids different?
they differ in many aspect.... chiefly by their functional groups....
How does the structure of proteins differ from the structure of carbohydrates?
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats (lipids) all have the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in them. However, on top of that, protein ALSO has nitrogen in it, and this is how it differs.
Which elements is found in proteins but is not found in carbohydrates or lipids?
Proteins are nitrogen based while carbohydrates and lipids are not.
How do proteins differ from fats (lipids) in their chemical composition?
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats (lipids) all have the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in them. However, on top of that, protein ALSO has nitrogen in it, and this is how it differs.
What do proteins have that carbohydrates and lipids don't?
They have Nitrogen in them But some carbohydrates and lipids have N
