Bio Molicules
Protein
proteines are the most diverse bio molicule out there, and provides many vital needs for life.
proteins consist of multiple amino acids joined together in a line. there are 20 types of amino acids that could occur in proteins. the structure of the protein could change the effects/benefits of proteins, same goes for the type of amino acid.

Carbohydrate
Carbohydrates are made up of many hydrocarbons connected, this creates a base for the simple sugars sometimes referred to as monosaccharides. these are created by hydroxyls and one carbonyl*bonding together to make the hydrocarbons to bond in a line.

carbohydrates aare consumed by most living things on earth from plants, insects, to mammals.

Polymers and monomers
monomers are the building blocks of polymers which could be considered as many things. An example could be proteins/energy. energy is built up of 20 types of protein monomers called amino acids. the monomers bond together and create a polymer.
a good way to think about monomers and polymers is to think of them as legos. a monomer is an individual lego and a polymer is the legos built into something like a house.
examples of polymers could be DNA, glucose, starch and many other stuff.
-
Lipids
examples for lipids could include fats, max, oil vitamins (A, D, E and K), hormones and soem parts of the cell membrane.
lipids are made of hydrocarbons like all the other 3 bio molecules, in the most reduced form which provides a high amount of energy.
-
what are enzimes?
-
these chemical reactions could be for food digestion like how our human saliva makes enzymes to digest starch, defend against germs, makes foods such as cheese, and more.
