Macromolecules-
All living things are made up of just four macromolecules: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are made of sugar, like glucose. lipids are smaller than carbohydrates, but they dissolve in the water, and example is hydrogen/ peanut butter. Proteins are complicated! But they keep you alive protein goes everywhere in your body.
Protein
Proteins are used everywhere throught your body! Thats why eating protein is very important. Monomer is a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer. Polymer is an number of similar units bonded together. Proteins are in fish, chicken, penut butter, etc.
Carbohydrate
Lipid
Unlike carbohydrates and proteins, lipids are generally insoluble in water. Monomer is a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer. Polymer is an number of similar units bonded together. Lipids are fats and oils.
DNA
The set of nongenetic traits, qualities, or features that characterize a person or thing.
DNA
DNA
An extremely long macromolecule.
