Function - Stores energy, provides insulation, and forms cell membranes. Proteins -re organic energy-yielding nutrients or macronutrients also containing C, H, and O that contain nitrogen and are water-soluble. Function- Provides structural support, acts as enzymes, facilitates transport, and offers defense. Carbohydrates -contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) but lack nitrogen and are water-soluble. Function -Provide energy. Naturally occurring sweeteners (sucrose and fructose) Brain and nerve tissues require glucose as fuel. Nucleic Acids - Made up of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. The two types of nucleic acids are DNA and RNA.
