Answer:

proteins, carbohydrates and lipids

Step-by-step explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants transform light energy into chemical energy. The chemical energy is stored in the bonds of glucose molecules—a simple carbohydrate. Plants can break down the glucose molecules for energy needed for cellular processes.

Plants can also use the glucose made during photosynthesis to create other biological molecules such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. When animals consume plants, they take in all of these substances.
