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.
