DNA has many hydrogen bonds. They are important becuase they hold the 2 strands of the double helix together. They are also important because the specific nature of the hydrogen bonding allows for exact replication when the cells replicate their DNA to undergo mitosis.

RNA - ribonucleic acid - has 83 hydrogen bonds. That's important because it makes the molecule light enough to float to the top of the cell when it's time for the cell to reproduce.

Fat, lipids, triglycerides....all of tose fats, have hydrogen bonds, and vary in lenght from 3 to 18 (palmytic) or 20 carbons (arachydonic, acid) and store lots of energy for emergency cases (malnutrition in humans hybernation in polar animals)..
