Lipids
B
Carbohydrates
C
Protein
D
Nucleic Acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is a monosaccharide which acts as an instant source of energy. Glucose present in the blood is transported to the cell. Inside the cell, glucose is quickly broken down by the aerobic respiration to yield energy in the form of ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates. Glucose, a 6-carbon sugar, is a simple carbohydrate or “mono-saccharide.” Sugar is a source of quick energy for the body because it is easily metabolized (broken down).

Detailed explanation-3: -What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are biomolecules comprising carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. They are an important source of energy. They are sugars, starch and fibres found in fruits and vegetables.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of quick energy because very little energy is required to break them down. There are three classes of carbohydrates: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
