Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are the four major types of biomolecules that form all living things. These biomolecules consists of monomers linked together by covalent bonds to form polymers.
- Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be classified according to their basic elements, monomer constituents, and functions.
Basic elements:
- Nucleic acids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Phosphorous (P)
- Proteins: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Sulfur (Z)
- Carbohydrates: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O)
- Lipids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Phosphorous (P)
Monomer constituents:
- Nucleic acids: nucleotides
- Proteins: amino acids
- Carbohydrates: monosaccharides
- Lipids: fatty acids and glycerol
Functions:
- Nucleic acids: contains the hereditary information to synthesize proteins
- Proteins: regulate metabolic processes (enzymes), the main biomolecule of cellular structures
- Carbohydrates: store energy (short term); form cellular structures
- Lipids: store energy (long term); the main component of biological membranes
Examples:
- Nucleic acids: DNA and RNA
- Proteins: lactase; collagen
- Carbohydrates: starch (polysaccharide); glucose (monosacharide)
- Lipids: phospholipids; cholesterol

An unidentified prokaryotic cell. Thus, option "4" is correct.
<h3>What atr prokaryotes and eukaryotes?</h3>
Prokaryotes are the unicellular organisms that do not contain nucleus and membrane bound organelle in their cell. Their genetic material is present in the cytoplasm.
On the other hand, eukaryotes have true nucleus that contains the genetic material (DNA). They also contain membrane bound specialised organelles (such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi complex).
Thus, option "4" is correct.

1. The plant should not have leaves. To prevent transpiration from taking place
2. Plant should be well watered. Plants need water
3. Put some Vaseline to seal open gaps. This prevents water evaporation
Unfortunately I don't have the 4th one :/
