Answer 1

Here are the primary functions of each macromolecule based on the provided options:

• Carbohydrates: Primary function - short-term energy
• Lipids: Primary function - long-term energy
• Proteins: Primary function - catalysts (enzymes)
• Nucleic acids: Primary function - genetic information storage and transfer

You can use these functions to fill in the response areas accordingly.
