LIPIDS:\nOne function for Lipids is that of Energy storage. Lipids contain a lot of calories in a small space. Since Lipids are generally insoluble in polar substances such as water, they are stored in special ways in you body's cells. Lipids can also function as structural components in the cell. Phospholipids are the major building blocks of cell membranes. Lipids are also used as hormones that play roles in regulating our Physiology (metabolism). \n\nCARBOHYDRATES:\nThe main function of carbohydrates is to provide energy, but they also play an important role in the structure and function of the body organs and nerve cells \n\nPROTEINS:\nProteins have many functions. They serve as enzymatic catalysts, are used as transport molecules (hemoglobin transports oxygen) and storage molecules (iron is stored in the liver as a complex with the protein ferritin); they are used in movement (proteins are the major component of muscles); they are needed for mechanical support (skin and bone contain collagen-a fibrous protein); they mediate cell responses (rhodopsin is a protein in the eye which is used for  vision); antibody proteins are needed for immune protection; control of growth and cell differentiation uses proteins (hormones).  These are just a few examples of the many, many functions of proteins.

Proteins are necessary in order for numerous vital functions of your body to happen.  Simply stated, without protein synthesis, you would die.  Proteins are necessary for the execution and regulation of nearly everything that happens in your body.

The bone has five main functions:\n\n1. Support \nThat's about everything just covered above \n2. Protection \nThey keep organs away from damage, such as the rib cage and the skull. \n3. Movement \nThat's covered above, also. \n4. Storage \nThe bone stores fat and some minerals. \n5. Blood cell formation \nThe bone is the place that most of your blood components are made.

Bugaboo described the essential function of Ub- It has also been associated with othe cellular functions, but the primary role we understand is tagging proteins for degradation.

Biochemistry\n\nThe chemistry of biology, the application of the tools and concepts of chemistry to living systems. \n\nBiochemists study such things as the structures and physical properties of biological molecules, including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids; the mechanisms of enzyme action; the chemical regulation of metabolism; the chemistry of nutrition; the molecular basis of genetics (inheritance); the chemistry of vitamins; energy utilization in the cell; and the chemistry of the immune response.\n\nFields closely related to biochemistry include biophysics, cell biology, and molecular biology. Biophysics applies to biology the techniques of physics. Cell biology is concerned with the organization and functioning of the individual cell. Molecular biology, a term first used in 1950, It overlaps biochemistry and is principally concerned with the molecular level of organization. \n\nThe science of biochemistry has also been called physiological chemistry and biological chemistry

Too many to list and explain here, without copying and pasting  --and why should I do all your uni work for you? ;-)\n\nI will recommend a couple of good text books through.  Well worth a purchase or just get them on loan from your library...\n\nAlberts et al, Molecular Biology of the Cell\nStryer, Biochemistry\n\nIt's been since I bought mine.  Think I got editions 2 & 7 back in 1996 and I know both have been updated a couple of times since.  These are still a GREAT basic resourse for this sort of question.

Well, There are 20 different amino acids that are required for normal function to form proteins. They are divided into four different groups: non-polar amino acids, polar amino acids, aromatic amino acids and positively charged amino acids, depending on their side chains

Enzymes are Proteins and Proteins are made of Amino Acids.\nCo-enzymes that help Enzymes function are made of vitamins.\nThere are some important conditions for Enzymes to be able to function:\n1)They only function in liquid areas.\n2)Each Enzyme has it's own distinctive shape that let's function with only one sort of matter.\n3)Enzymes are very sensitive towards the temperature of the surrounding environment. For example the enzymes in our body can not function very well when the body temperature goes higher than 38 or 39.\n4)Enzymes are very sensitive towards the PH of their surrounding area. \nRemember this: Enzymes help chemical reactions happen faster but they will not be used during this reaction.

The six characteristics of living things, and an explanation of each one. \nTheme #1 - Cells \n\nAll living things are composed of one or more cells. Different types of cells have different "jobs" within the organism. Each life form begins from one cell, which then will split. These cells split, and so on. After this has happened several times, differentiation is undergone, when the cells change so that they are not the same thing anymore. Then they are used to begin to put together the final organism, some cells, for example, as the eyes, some as the heart, etc. The only arguable exception to this is viruses. They are not composed of cells, but are said to be "living." \nTheme#2 - Organization \n\n \nComplex organization patterns are found in all living organisms. They arrange themselves on very small levels, grouping like things together. On larger levels, they become visible. This also has to do with differentiation, as the cells are organized in a manner that makes sense for the organism after they change to what they’ll be in the final organism. \n\nTheme#3 - Energy Use \n\nAll organisms use energy. The sum of the chemical energy they use is called metabolism. This energy is used to carry out everything they do. Autotrophs (plants) use energy from the sun for photosynthesis, to make their own ‘food’ (glucose). Heterotrophs (animals and humans) must ingest food for this purpose. \n\n\nTheme#4 - Homeostasis \n\nAll organisms have stable internal conditions which must be maintained in order to remain alive. These include temperature, water content, heartbeat, and other such things. In a way, this has to do with energy use, because a certain level of energy must be kept within the body at all times. For this, obviously, humans must then ingest food on a regular basis. Not all conditions are for the body to maintain itself; though most are. \n\n\nTheme#5 - Growth \n\nAll organisms grow and change. Cells divide to form new, identical cells. Differentiation happens, as well, when cells mutate into other types of cells, making a more complex organism. Organisms growing, changing, and becoming more complex is called development. Single-celled organisms do grow as well, but they will only become slightly larger – this is nearly unmeasurable. \n\n\nTheme#6 - Reproduction \n\nAll organisms reproduce in order to continue the species' life. This is combining genetic information (in sexual reproduction) or splitting into two organisms (in asexual reproduction) in order to create another of the same species. In sexual reproduction, the new organism will have some characteristics from the mother, and some from father. It may look like either of them, or it may not. In asexual reproduction, the new organism is an exact copy of the first. Sometimes, not every member of a species is able to reproduce. As long as others are (which we know they can, if they still exist today) then it does not threaten the species. (Except for mules, but don't worry about them, they are a bizarre anomoly.)
