Answer:

Proteins

Step-by-step explanation:

Biomolecules are any organic molecule, meaning they contain carbon and they are produced by cells in living organisms, and they generally aid in the functioning of that living cell. The four major types of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.

Proteins are large biomolecules, as they are also macromolecules.

Proteins are responsible for cellular functions and regulation of the body's tissues and organs.

When we talk about providing structure for healing, then proteins fit perfectly as collagen works on quick healing while immunoglobulin is an example of a protein that fights of harmful organisms.

Ferritin, Hemoglobin is an example of a protein that transports essential molecules from one part of the body to a target organ or destination.

Insulin for example is a protein that sends signals to target organs and is considered very important.
