Answer:

1. Short-term energy storage

2. Lipids

3. Speed up chemical reactions, support cell's structure

4. Nucleic acids

Step-by-step explanation:

The image comprising of a tabular representation portrays the four biological molecules, their building blocks and function. The four biological molecules in nature are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.

- Carbohydrates are biological polymers made up of monomers called monosaccharides. They function to store energy in cells for a short period of time. Examples are glucose, starch etc.

- Lipids are formed from monomers called FATTY ACIDS. They function in the long term storage of energy. Examples are phospholipids, fats etc.

- Proteins are formed from monomers called AMINO ACIDS. They provide various functions including speeding up of chemical reactions, provide cellular structure support etc. Examples are haemoglobin, melanin, hormones etc.

- Nucleic acids are polymers of NUCLEOTIDES. They function majorly in the storage of genetic information. Examples are DNA, RNA etc.
