Explanation:

Macromolecules play many important roles in the body. Let's list the functions of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Proteins:

  • These molecules help with growth, building and repairing cells, transporting substances, and acting as enzymes or hormones.

Carbohydrates:

  • These molecules are used for energy. They can provide quick energy, because they are easy to break down.
