It is awkward to ask such a silly question. But, practically, all the class of biomolecules are made up of elements and chemical reactions and bonds.
At some point in time, there has been a common ancestry from which there might have been a need of different classes of biomolecules.
Logically, evolution has its answers, but we can't reverse the way.
So, can we convert the carbohydrates into proteins or fats, or the other way?
Just to raise a thought among ourselves.
I dont want to be rude but this is biochemistry ABC! Take a look at Krebs cycle! All will be clear!
Glucose can be converted to (some) amino acids and to fat. Fat can be converted to (some) amino acids, but not to glucose.
@Thomas,
You are right, of course. I was referring to the situation in the human body.
concept of integrative metabolism,Metabolic pathways are linked and make complex network. Metabolites are nodes of that network, most of them are reversible tandem substrate and product. your curiosity may end-up after revising integrative metabolism concepts.
