Answers: What are the main stuctural components of carbs, proteins, and lipids?
Ok Proteins make up around 17% of body weight and are predominantly Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen. They are made up from polymers (chains) of amino acids.
Carbohydrates make up around 1% of body weight and are mainly Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. They have subclasses known as Monosaccharides(sugars) and Polysaccharides.
Lipids make up around 15% of body weight and are mainly Carbon and Hydrogen.
Hope this helps
Proteins- amino acids.
