Question

which biomolecule is crucial for muscle building?
proteins
carbohydrates
nucleic acids
lipids
Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of muscles. When you engage in activities like exercise, especially strength - training, your muscle fibers get micro - tears. Proteins help in repairing and rebuilding these muscle fibers, thus being crucial for muscle building. Carbohydrates are mainly for energy production, nucleic acids are for genetic information storage and transfer (like DNA and RNA), and lipids are for energy storage (in the form of fats) and as components of cell membranes.
