Cells contain four primary types of macromolecules essential for their structure and function. Carbohydrates provide energy and structural support, while nucleic acids like DNA store genetic information crucial for cellular activities.

4 Main Macromolecules Found in the Cell

Nucleic Acids

Chloroplasts- Captures light energy and converts it into energy usable by the cell
Nucleus- Contains most of the cells DNA
Nucleolus- Controls Nuclelus

Protein

Nucleus- Stores information to make proteins
Golgi apparatus- modifies, sorts, and packages proteins into sacs called vesicles
Endoplasmic Reticulum- Site of Protein synthesis
Ribosomes- Help manufacture proteins
Cytoskeleton- Supporting network of long thin protein fibers

Carbohydrates

Cell Wall- Supports and protects the plant cell
Mitochondria- Converts energy into ATP (usable energy)
Nucleolus- Site of ribosome production

Lipid

Endoplasmic Reticulum- Site of Lipid synthesis
Ribosomes- Digests enzymes such as Lipids
Nuclear Envelope- Surrounds Nucleus in double membrane
Plasma Membrane- Controls what enters and leaves the cell
