In terms of molecular weight, proteins are generally heavier than sugars. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids, which have higher molecular weights compared to the simpler structures of sugars, which are carbohydrates. For example, a typical amino acid has a molecular weight around 110 daltons, while common sugars like glucose have a molecular weight of about 180 daltons. However, when comparing equal quantities by volume or mass, proteins will typically have a higher weight due to their complex structures.
