Okay;

Carbohydrates are essentially sugars. (Carbohydrates is a synonym for Saccharide which encompasses various compounds like sugar and starch.)

Lipids are fats.

Proteins are large molecules that are made up of smaller molecules called Amino acids, (Not to be confused with Nucleic Acids!)

Nucleic Acid is the form DNA and RNA, it is made up of many, many nucleotides.

Therefore:
--
glucose and sucrose = Carbohydrates.

(Glucose/Sucrose are sugars, Carbohydrates represent sugars.)
--

carries genetic information = Nucleic Acids.

(DNA dictates all the nuances of an organism, Nucleic Acid is DNA, therefore it carries genetic information. )

DNA and RNA - same as above; Nucleic Acids.

--

starches and sugars = Carbohydrates.

(Starch is a polysaccharide! Therefore a sugar!)

--

antibodies to defend the cell against "invaders" = Protein.

(Enzymes are made of proteins, their function is to bind to (and either glue or detach) molecules from each other. It is this aspect that allows them to identify, latch on, and "tag" invaders for the immune system to destroy.

--

help speed up cellular reactions = Protein.

(Enzymes are catalysts, often used to speed up reactions. They are made of protein)

--

used as main source of energy for a cell - Carbohydrates

(Sugars are a source of energy!)

--

can be utilized for energy if sugars are not available - Lipids

(It's best not to think about this on a cellular level; rather think about the fat/lipids on your stomach, etc. Your body will use this when there is no food available.

--
can provide insulation - Lipids

(Again, think about the fat on your body! This retains heat, and hence is an insulator.)

--

forms that hydrophobic part of the plasma membrane - Lipids

(Fats are notoriously hydrophobic, (afraid of water))

--

some are stringy and fibrous and provide support (i.e, collagen and keratin) - Protein

(Protein is the building block of muscle, which as you know, is fibrous and strong.)
