There are four biological marcomolecules essential to the function of a cell: lipids‚ proteins‚ carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Proteins are made up of amino acids that have a carbon in the center of the structure with four chemical groups attached to the sides. Traditionally protein is understood to assist in the development of muscle in athletic people‚ but it actually functions as structural support‚ cell adhesion‚ transport for molecules‚ and cellular communication.
