Carbohydrates direct cell functions
A
Lipids
B
Carbohydrates
C
Nucleic acids
D
Nitrogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -With linking to proteins, carbohydrates can mediate the dissolubility and stability of corresponding proteins. Via interacting with carbohydrate-binding proteins, carbohydrates can also direct the glycoconjugate transport, mediate and regulate cellular adhesion and signal transduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are found in all organisms and are involved in many vital functions. In living cells, the carbohydrate ribose is an essential part of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), but carbohydrates are also elements in many other molecules such as coenzymes, antibiotics and toxins.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are five primary functions of carbohydrates in the human body. They are energy production, energy storage, building macromolecules, sparing protein, and assisting in lipid metabolism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Nucleic acids and carbohydrates are both types of organic molecules known as macromolecules. Macromolecules are carbon-containing compounds found in all living things. In addition to carbon, they are also made up of atoms of hydrogen, oxygen and/or nitrogen.
