Which macromolecule and function are matched correctly?
A
lipids:long term energy
B
carbohydrates:used for transport in the cell membrane
C
nucleic acids:quick energy
D
proteins:genetic information
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fats (lipids) Fats are the primary long-term energy storage molecules of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -ATP-Adenosine triphosphate, a nucleotide which is the most important short-term energy storage compound in cells. It is the “energy currency” of the cell, necessary for practically all metabolic activities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of lipids called fats. Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer: The macromolecule which acts as the primary energy source for an organism is D) carbohydrate. The primary source of energy in most of the organisms is carbohydrate as it is the most abundant in most of the organism.
