    The document summarizes four main types of biomolecules - carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. It describes their monomeric units, main functions in the body, examples of each type, and their typical molecular composition. Specifically, it notes that carbohydrates are the primary energy source and are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Lipids function in energy storage, protection, and structure and contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Proteins promote metabolism, support growth and repair, and ensure pH balance, containing amino acids. Nucleic acids carry genetic instructions and enable protein synthesis, containing nitrogen bases, phosphates, and sugars.
