lipids are neither of those. lipids are simply another separate group. lipids are things like fats/acid, triglycerides, cell membrane, sex hormones, and cholesterol. the are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Lipids can be natural steroids or "chemical messengers" for hormones in human bodies.

In general they give you energy storing fat and helping your muscles move by setting off chemical reactions in your cells, so the muscle will function right.

∙ 10y agoall of those macromolecules pretty much make for all of your body.
lipids: shock protection, energy storage, hormones
proteins: tissue, enzymes, hormones
carbohydrates: energy
nucleic acids: dna
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNucleic acids are the genetic material in our body. They direct all the metabolic activities in our body.
Lipids are basically storage molecules. Also, they are important components of membranes.
Carbohydrates are primarily used as sources of energy. However, some carbohydrates can be structural in function.
Minerals ions are important catalysts in our body. They occur within important molecules like hemoglobin, etc. Besides these, they are found in pigment molecules.

lipids produce 9kcal of energy. It also maintains our body temperature.

What are four names of macromolecules?
Macromolecules are very large molecules. The term is used for the four biopolymers nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. It is also used to describe non-polymeric molecules - such as macrocycles.
What are the four classes of macromolecules and their importance?
CARBOHYDRATES- polymers of sugars LIPIDS- polymers of fatty acids PROTEINS- polymers of amino acids NUCLEIC ACIDS- polymers of nucleotides
What are the four macromolecules of life?
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.

What are the 4 classes of macromolecules?
Lipids (oils and fats), Carbohydrates [Saccharides (Sugars) and Fibers etc.), Nucleic Acids, and Proteins (You can get from Meat, Eggs, etc.)Carbohydrates (e.g. glucose, sucrose), proteins (e.g. enzymes, transporters, receptors), lipids (e.g. phospholipids, cholesterol), nucleic acids (e.g. DNA, RNA).
What are four classes of polymers found in living things?
They are Nucleic acid - from cells, Proteins - translated from genes, lipids - from proteins and carbohydrates - from proteins.
