    The document discusses biomolecules, which are organic compounds that make up living organisms. It describes four main types of biomolecules: carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins. Carbohydrates include monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides and function as an energy source. Nucleic acids include DNA and RNA, which are made up of nucleotides and function in information storage and protein synthesis. Lipids include fats, oils, waxes, and phospholipids and function as an energy store and in building cell membranes. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids and function in structure, enzyme catalysis, transport, muscle contraction, hormones, immunity, and storage.
