Carbohydrates
C
Nucleic acids
D
Lipids
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the primary function of each type of organic molecule mentioned: proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids.
Proteins are primarily involved in structural functions, catalysis as enzymes, and signaling, rather than energy storage.
Carbohydrates are known for their role in energy storage and supply. They are broken down into glucose, which is a key energy source for cells.
Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are involved in genetic information storage and transfer, not energy storage.
Lipids, including fats and oils, are another major group of molecules used for long-term energy storage in organisms. They store energy more efficiently than carbohydrates.
