Im taking Honors Biology 10 next year, and its required to have summer homework, I've flown through most of it, but i dont understand this final part at all.

Proteins -
What elements compose?
I have: Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and some sulfur.
Example molecule:

Chemicle formula:

What types of bonds within molecule:

What types of bonds between molecules:

What is the importance of these molecules to life:
I have: Messengers, defence against disease.

Im also suppose to draw a diagram of the example protein ( the example im suppose to give ).

I want it done yes, but i also want to understand it.

Im suppose to have all that for Proteins, Nucleic Acids, Carbohydrates ( the only one I've completed, half of it googled ) and Lipids.

Any help would be appreciated.

...?
Proteins are made of amino acids. Writing out their chemical formula would be extremely long.

What types of bonds within molecule:
Don't recall

What types of bonds between molecules:
Hydrogen

What is the importance of these molecules to life:
Provides structure

Im also suppose to draw a diagram of the example protein ( the example im suppose to give ).
Google images -> copy it.

Nucleic Acid:
Example molecule:
DNA

What elements compose:
Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphate...

Chemicle formula:
Varies

What types of bonds within molecule:
Hydrogen, covalent bond

What types of bonds between molecules:
?

What is the importance of these molecules to life:
Genetic code / reproduction

Im also suppose to draw a diagram of the example protein ( the example im suppose to give ).

Lipid
Example molecule:
Cholesterol

Chemicle formula:
