Biomolecules

Biomolecules are the essential building blocks of life, consisting of organic molecules that play critical roles in biology. They are categorized into four main types: carbohydrates (sugars and starches for energy), proteins (made of amino acids, which do work in cells), lipids (fats that store energy and form cell membranes), and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA that carry genetic information). These molecules interact in complex ways to support life processes, such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction, making them fundamental to all living organisms.
