Use Thurston's story and your own opinion to explain.

Fats and oils are usually made up of fatty acids and glycerol. Proteins are a class of macromolecules that can perform a diverse range of functions for the cell. They help in metabolism by providing structural support and by acting as enzymes, carriers or as hormones. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids. ;

Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids are essential macromolecules with distinct functions: proteins serve as enzymes and structural elements, carbohydrates provide energy, lipids store energy and form cell membranes, while nucleic acids carry genetic information. Each macromolecule plays a critical role in maintaining life processes in organisms.
