Proteins
Made of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds
C, H, O, N, sometimes S Very important! They have several
functions including movement and structure Enzymes are a very important type of
proteins. They speed up chemical reactions of a cell to biologically useful rates.

Lipids Fats, oils, waxes, steroids C, H, O, sometimes P Used for energy storage and insulation Important component of cell
membranes

Nucleic Acids
Contain hereditary info C, H, O, N, P Made of nucleotides (sugar, nitrogen
base, and phosphate group) RNA, DNA Important for building proteins Can be used to store info
