Discuss the biological importance of each of the following organic compounds in relation to cellular structure and function in plants and animals.

a) Carbohydrates

b) Proteins

c) Lipids

d) Nucleic acids

Carbohydrates: they are the main source of ATP inside the cell and in the membrane, they can participate in cell recognition, adhesion, signaling and also as a physical barrier. Proteins: they form channels or bombs to exchange different molecules into or out of the cell, they also conform most of the enzymes responsible for many metabolic tasks inside the cell. Lipids: they are the main content of the cell's membrane, they form a fluid lipidic bilayer that permeates the cell from its environment and allows the movement of proteins and carbohydrates in it. Nucleic acids: they contain the genetic information of the cell
