Nucleic acids are components of the molecules of inheritance. They include DNA, which includes all of the genetic code that is necessary for replication; and RNA which is a messenger that transfers information from DNA to proteins.
Proteins are the most significant contributor to cellular function. They are polymers (long chains) of 20 amino acid molecules. Proteins are complex and the largest of the biologic molecules. Enzymes are an important type of protein that acts to catalyze (cause or accelerate) reactions and processes.
Carbohydrates are polymers (long chains) of sugars. Their purposes include storage, structure, and energy.
Lipids are fats that include fatty acids, phospholipids, and steroids. Phospholipids and steroids are both integral parts of cellular membranes.
