Food contains : 1-Carbohydrates   2-Fat or lipid   3-Proteins .\nFirst of all most carbohydrates are transformed into glucose units that the cell uses to get its needs of ATP through glycolysis and citric acid cycle until enough ATP is obtained then the rest is stored as glycogen .\nSecondly fat is simplified by lipolytic enzymes into triglycerides that is stored in the subcutaneous tissue and around organs or hydrolyzed into fatty acids that gives acetyl-coA that enter citric acid cycle to give energy .\nlastly proteins that enters intestine is simplified by various proteolytic enzymes into peptides then to amino acids that may be stored in body tissues or converted to glycolytic or citric acid cycle intermediates to give energy .

Cells make a DNA template from RNA (similar to DNA, but with a different sugar and one different nucleotide, and almost always single-stranded) called mRNA (messenger RNA).  This goes to a part of teh cytoplasm where a protein-builing machine called a ribosome matched every three nucleotides of the RNA with a distinct sort of molecule (tRNA, for Transfer) matches every three-nucleotide sequence with any of twenty different amino acids.  This process works to make a chain of amino acids, and this chain becomes a protein.  (there are a few exceptions to all of this, and some complicated additional steps, but that's generally the basis of how a protein comes about).  The chain of amino acids will fold into a certain, thermodynamically favorable conformation, and that shape will generally dictate its function.  Sometimes, more than one chain will work together to form a proteins.\n\nProteins do everything in the body.  Some are structural (like ropes or girders or bungee cords), some are like motors (like pumps, or like train cars that walk along tracks carrying material, or like growing fibers that push the cell membrane), some will act as messages to other cells, or to the cell nucleus to start building new proteins in response to a change in environment; some work to turn fats and sugars into an energy source (eg ATP), and some will sit in the membrane holding out long carbohydrate chains to help other cells recognize one cell from another.

Carbohydrates are molecules that contain oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon atoms. They may also contain other elements such as sulfur or nitrogen, but these are usually minor components. They consist of monosaccharide sugars, of varying chain lengths, that have the general chemical formula Cn(H2O)n or are derivatives of such.The smallest value for n is 3. A 3-carbon sugar is referred to as a triose, whereas a 6-carbon sugar is called a hexose (see monosaccharides below). Certain carbohydrates are important for storing and transporting energy in most organisms, including plants and animals, and are major structural elements in many organisms (eg cellulose in plants). In addition they play major roles in cell to cell communication, the immune system, fertilization, pathogenesis, blood clotting, and development. Carbohydrates can be classified by the number of constituent sugar units: monosaccharides (such as glucose and fructose), disaccharides (such as sucrose and lactose), oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides (such as starch, glycogen, and cellulose).\n\nPure carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, in a 1:2:1 molar ratio, giving the general formula Cn(H2O)n. (This applies only to monosaccharides, see below, although all carbohydrates have the more general formula Cn(H2O)m.) However, many important carbohydrates deviate from this, such as deoxyribose and glycerol. Sometimes compounds containing other elements are also counted as carbohydrates (e.g. glucosamine and chitin, which contain nitrogen).\n\nThe simplest carbohydrates are monosaccharides, which are small straight-chain aldehydes and ketones with many hydroxyl groups added, usually one on each carbon except the functional group. Other carbohydrates are composed of monosaccharide units and break down under hydrolysis. These may be classified as disaccharides, oligosaccharides, or polysaccharides, depending on whether they have two, several, or many monosaccharide units.\n\nNutrition\nCarbohydrates require less water to digest than proteins or fats and are the most common source of energy. Proteins and fat are vital building components for body tissue and cells, and thus it could be considered advisable not to deplete such resources by necessitating their use in energy production. Carbohydrates, like proteins, contain 4 kilocalories per gram while fats contain 9 kilocalories and alcohol contains 7 kilocalories per gram.\n\nBased on evidence for risk of heart disease and obesity, the Institute of Medicine recommends that American and Canadian adults get between 40-65% of dietary energy from carbohydrates.[1] The Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization jointly recommend that national dietary guidelines set a goal of 55-75% of total energy from carbohydrates.[2]\n\nFoods that are high in carbohydrates\nBreads, pastas, beans, potatoes, bran, rice and cereals are all high in carbohydrates.\n\nClassification\nDietitians and nutritionists commonly classify carbohydrates as simple (monosaccharides and disaccharides) or complex (oligosaccharides and polysaccharides), depending on their chemical structure. The term complex carbohydrate was first used in the Senate Select Committee publication Dietary Goals for the United States (1977), where it denoted "fruit, vegetables and whole-grains".[3] Dietary guidelines generally recommend that complex carbohydrates and nutrient-rich simple carbohydrates such as fruit and dairy products should make up the bulk of carbohydrate consumption. The USDA's Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 dispenses with the simple/complex distinction, instead recommending fiber-rich foods and whole grains.[4].\n\nThe glycemic index and glycemic load systems are popular alternative classification methods which rank carbohydrates based on their effect on blood glucose levels.

The simple answer is energy. I can't remember the complex answer from chemistry or whatever science class it was. What I do remember is that whatever Calories are not used up are converted into fat. (Hence why people diet and exercise.)

All contain carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen.\nAmino acids form proteins, while DNA and RNA are formed from nucleic acids.\nDNA stores the genetic code, mRNA transfers portions of that code to the cytoplasm, and is the transcript from which amino acids are strung together, in a specific pattern, to form the new peptide or protein.

What level are you and how much information do you want? That question is like asking explain Biochemistry?\n\nAlright the basics: Carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules they can be one sugar molecule or many in a chain. The simplified answer on their main function is that serve as an energy source, they can be stored in long chains (glycogen, or starch in plants) in the short term and then broken down into smaller sugars and eventually carbon dioxide and water releasing energy.\n\nFats, also called lipids are long carbon chains and are mainly used in cell membranes and as a long term energy store. Look up lipids and triglycerides for more information.\n\nProteins are made up of chains of amino acids which fold into different shapes relating to their functions. Proteins are used as catalysts (called enzymes) and are involved in most of the chemical reactions that occur in the cells. Try looking up enzymes for more information. There are also proteins with different roles in maintaining structure or sending signals around the body.

Well, most elements are important to the human body and industry.\n\nTake carbon (C) for example.  Carbon is the quintessential element of organic chemistry, and therefore life itself!  But carbon finds numerous applications in industry, from carbon steel to plastics (which are composed of carbon based polymers) to the gasoline that you put in your vehicle.

Lipids have no monomer. Some lipids like glycerides and phosphor lipids are made from fatty acids and glycerine, but they are not monomers in the chemical sense of the word. The type of lipids called cholesterols are made from another type of lipid called squalene. The class of molecules called lipids is a wide range of structurally different molecules with very different properties, but they have no repeating unit or monomer as e.g. proteins or polysaccharides.\nStretching things quite a bit you could say that the monomer is acetic acid, as nature likes to work with that unit in biosynthesis, but it really is stretching it.\n\namino acid-The monomer of a protein. A central carbon attached to an amino group (–NH2), a carboxyl group (–COOH), and a hydrogen atom (–H). The fourth group is variable and defines the amino acid’s chemical identity.\n\nMonomer of a carbohydrate-monosaccharides (most common are glucose, fructose, and galactose).  They all have the same formula C6H1206, yet each has a different structure, which         determine slightly different properties of the compounds.

The ingredients to make life are quite simple. They (aminoacids, nukleotides, fattyacids, sugars) have been found on many off world places such as comets, meteorites and interstellar molecular clouds. Knowing that the ingredients are common and form easily they just need to be exposed to an energy source, like a star, while suspended in a medium (water) and exposed to catalysts (like clays rich in metallic oxides), that greatly speed things up, and eventually more and more complex substances will form. The magic ingredient is time. No God is required to make life, the planets or the universe. It took some 3.8 billion years for life to evolve from the primordial soup to us. Give me that much time to toy around and I´ll build you a staircase to the moon using nothing but a teaspoon.
