Inside every cell are smaller structures

are also called biomolecules, molecules of life.

Polymers are built from smaller units called monomers, single simple units of a biomolecule. Many monomers join together to form polymers.

Carbohydrates provide quick energy for cells. They can also provide structural support, such as fiber in plants.

monosaccharides, or simple sugars

Lipids store long-term energy. They also form cell membranes and provide insulation.

Proteins build and repair tissue and function as enzymes, antibodies, and transport molecules.

Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information. Nucleic acids are present in the cells of all living things. There are two types - DNA and RNA.
