What are the main functions of the organic molecules for living beings?
Organic molecules, like proteins, lipids and carbohydrates, perform several functions for living organisms. Noteworthy functions are the structural function (as part of the material that constitutes, delimits and maintains organs, membranes, cell organelles, etc.), the energetic function (chemical reactions of the energetic metabolism), the control and informative function (genetic code control, inter and intracellular signaling, endocrine integration) and the enzymatic function of proteins (facilitation of chemical reactions).
