Answer:
FUNCTIONS OF BIOMOLECULES:
Carbohydrates:
1.Disaccharides in carbohydrates ,mainly glucose is used in the process of producing energy which meet the requirements of our body. It is through the process of glycolysis(break down of glucose into to pyruvate molecules) and the energy released is in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
2.Pentose sugars(ALSO CARBOHYDRATES) like Ribose and deoxy ribose are involved in the formation of nucleic acids such as RNA and DNA.
Lipids:
Storage of energy for long-term use (e.g. triglycerides)
Hormonal roles (e.g. steroids such as oestrogen and testosterone)
Insulation – both thermal (triglycerides) and electrical (sphingolipids)
Protection of internal organs (e.g. triglycerides and waxes)
Structural components of cells (e.g. phospholipids and cholesterol)
Proteins:
Histone protein helps in the coiling of DNA during interphase.
Rhodopsin or visual purple in the eyes helps in converting messages into neural signals and send it to the brain thhrough opticakl nerve.
Actin,Myosin,Tropomyosin and Meromyosin helps in muscle contraction and locomotion.
Proteinized enzymes acts as catalyst in many bio-chemical reactions and also helps in lysis(breaking).
Antibodies are proteinaceous substances,which help in defense mechanism .
Collagen is a structural protein which is present inside the bones .
Nucleic acids:
Nucleic acids are DNA and RNA.The former conveys genetic information from one generation to another and the latter reads the code from DNA and passes the messages to respective functional sites(m-RNA).
