: Sugars and starches that provide and store energy.
: Fats and oils essential for cell membranes and long-term energy storage.
A comprehensive guide to biochemistry typically includes these key pillars: BIOCHEMISTRY the career guide - Biochemical Society
: Composed of amino acids; responsible for structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues.
