Proteins play important roles in the structure of cells, as well as function. Receptors, transporters, and enzymes are just a few of the functional roles proteins play. Carbohydrates are important structurally and as an energy source. Carbohydrates can be used as a rapidly accessible form of energy, or they can be stored for later use. Lipids are critical for membrane formation, chemical signaling, and energy sources. Without lipids, isolation of the intracellular and extracellular components would be impossible.
