There are six major classes of nutrients based on biochemical properties: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, water, vitamins, and minerals. Fiber, which consists largely of nondigestible carbohydrates, is sometimes added as the seventh class of nutrients.

Carbon is the basis of all biochemical compounds, so carbon is essential to life on Earth. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates are an important part of a healthy diet. They are also one of four major classes of biochemical compounds.

This is because they are hydrocarbons that include mostly nonpolar carbon–carbon or carbon–hydrogen bonds. Non-polar molecules are hydrophobic (“water fearing”), or insoluble in water. Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of fats. Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals.

Organisms use lipids to store energy and for many other uses. Lipid molecules consist mainly of repeating units called fatty acids. There are two types of fatty acids: saturated and unsaturated. Both types consist mainly of simple chains of carbon atoms bonded to one another and to hydrogen atoms.
