Lipids, proteins, nucleic acid, and carbohydrates
what are the two main funtions of lipids
Most of the antibodies in the body are made of lipids. This is one of the main functions of the lipids in the body.
lipids
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Nucleic Acids, and Proteins, which are also known as inorganic compounds.

none
Lipids do not have a role in controlling the functions of genes. In a cell, the most notable function of lipids is in the lipid bilayer/cell membrane.
storing energy
lipids are fats so they are used by the body for insulation, and they also store loads of energy and to release it when it is needed
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
