Protein can provide energy, but this is extremely inefficient. This is due to the fact that the energy it takes to make it usable as energy is almost as much as the energy it provides.

Does biological molecules proteins and lipids have cell membranes?

Proteins and lipids don't have cell membranes but are the molecules that make up the bulk of what a cell membrane is.


What is used to store energy and make cell membranes and hormones?

Lipids are used to store energy in the form of triglycerides, make up cell membranes as phospholipids, and serve as precursors for the synthesis of hormones such as steroid hormones.


What kinds of proteins can be found in cell membranes?

There are two kinds of proteins in a cell membrane: peripheral PROTEINS OR trans membrane proteins. Cell membranes are able to perform various functions only because of different membrane protein functions. Most of the membrane proteins have alpha helix structure.


What are four important types of molecules found in cells?

Four important types of molecules found in cells are proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), carbohydrates, and lipids. Proteins are crucial for cell structure and function, nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information, carbohydrates provide energy and structural support, and lipids serve as a source of energy and form cell membranes.


What serve as enzymes carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids proteins?

Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in biological systems. Carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins are biological macromolecules that serve various roles in the body: carbohydrates provide energy, lipids store energy and form cell membranes, nucleic acids carry genetic information, and proteins have structural, catalytic, and regulatory functions.
