    Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are the four major biological macromolecules. Proteins serve many functions in organisms including structure, transport, and defense. Lipids are made of hydrocarbons and form cell structures and functions. Carbohydrates exist as sugars, fibers, and starches in both healthy and unhealthy foods. Nucleic acids like DNA and RNA contain genetic information and can be found in cell nuclei and cytoplasm.
