In living organisms, for the most part, there are four types of organic molecules: carbohydrates, lipids (fats), proteins (proteins) and nucleic acids. The main composition is carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, proteins also contain nitrogen and sulfur, nucleic acids and lipids contain nitrogen and phosphorus.
Carbohydrates, or sugars, are the main carriers of energy. Other macromolecules also consist of sugars
Known as fat. They store energy and protect us from the cold. Tightly packed sugar in the body
Proteins are the most common element in the body, form tissues, and also regulate many processes in our organzyme
