-Lipids can be used to store energy
-Nucleic acids store and transmit hereditary of genetic information
-Proteins control the rate of reactions and regulate cell processes.

∙ 13y agoyeah so i dont really know i was hoping some genius would help me with the answer but i havent gotten anyone to actually start a chat bout it so yeah im going to jus drop the subject/and not wait around for the answer

∙ 13y agoCarbohydrates are catabolized for energy, and contribute to membrane molecules, such as glycoproteins and glycolipids. Lipids (triglycerides) are used as a long term energy storage substance, used to synthesize cell membranes (phospholipids and cholesterol), and used to synthesize hormones (steroids and eicosanoids). Proteins are the most diverse group, including catalysts, regulatory molecules, structural molecules, and contractile molecules. Nucleic acids regulate the cell and organism as they encode the genetic information in DNA; RNA is used to express or read the code, producing proteins and regulatory RNAs.

What are functional groups responsible for?
Functional groups are an aspect of organic chemistry that signifies the specific groups of atoms and bonds in molecules that are responsible for the characteristic behaviors of the class of compounds that the group is in.
What is the defining characteristic of organic molecules?
Organic chemistry is defined as 'the chemistry of compounds of Carbon'. Or, more accurately, compounds containing carbon-hydrogen bonds. (For example, carbon dioxide doesn't count as organic.)
The variety of functional groups in organic compounds can be explained by the fact that?
carbon atoms can bond with several other common elements.
Functional groups present in a molecule?
AlkanesAlkenesAlkynesHaloalkanesAlcoholsKetonesAldehydeCarbonatesCarboxylic acidsEthersEstersThese are some examples of functional groups of organic compounds.
Why are the side groups added onto the carbon chain called functional groups?
The side groups added into the carbon chain participate in reactions. So they are called functional groups.the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds change with the functional groups.
What is the difference from the four major organic compounds and functional groups?
