A comprehensive review of the building blocks and functions of the four major biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. It covers topics such as fatty acids, monosaccharides, amino acids, nucleotides, organic molecules, energy storage, dna and rna, polarity in lipids, polysaccharides, protein shape determination, the process of polymerization, genetic material function, lipid solubility, carbohydrate energy source, protein functions, number of amino acids, rna function, hydrolysis, dehydration synthesis, and more. It also explains the four levels of organizing a protein and the three parts of a nucleotide.
