Step-by-step explanation:

For more details:

Carbohydrates

  • Monomers are sugars
  • Have linear structures
  • Used for glucose storage

Lipids

  • Monomers are fatty acids
  • Hydrophobic
  • Higher energy storage than glucose

Proteins

  • Monomers are amino acids
  • Make up 50% of the weight of the cell
  • Several cellular functions (structural, storage, transport, hormonal, receptor, contractile, defensive, enzymes)
  • Have primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures

Similarities

  • All 3 contribute to storage
  • Carbohydrates and lipids have energy storage
  • Lipids and proteins both have lots of carbon-hydrogen bonds
  • Proteins and carbohydrates have similar molecular makeup and give out 4 kcal per gram
