    This document summarizes and compares the main biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. It outlines their classification, building blocks, chemical formulas, structures, importance, sources, and key differences between each class of biomolecule. Carbohydrates and lipids are used for energy storage and structure, nucleic acids contain and transmit genetic information, and proteins are needed for growth, repair, transport, and chemical reactions.
