carbohidrates and lipids

Explanation:
carbohydrate: glúcido; carbohidrato

lipids - hydrophobic molecules which in the case of fats and oils have as building blocks fatty acids and triglycerides; other lipids are steroids and waxes; phosphorylated lipids are the major component of plasma membranes.

carbohydrates - sugars, starches, and cellulose, which contain CHO and which function primarily in energy storage, energy transport, and plant structure.

It also includes derivatives of these compounds. Source

OBS – carbohydrates: Originally, compounds such as aldoses and ketoses, having the stoichiometric formula Cn(H2O)n, hence "hydrates of carbon." Source

OBS – [Carbohydrates] are divided into sugars proper (C12H22O11), grape-sugars or glucoses (C6H12O6), and amyloses, comprising starch and woody fibre (C6H10O5). Also attrib. and Comb. Source

OBS – Carbohydrates are important providers of energy. They are formed in nature through photosynthesis and are the precursors of the hydrocarbon energy stores in fossil fuels.
