Macromolecules and Micromolecules
Monomers of macromolecules are known as Micromolecules. Various types of micromolecules are as follows:
- Micromoelcules of carbohydrate are monosaccharides, also known as simple sugar.
- Micromoelcules of protein are amino acids.
- Micromoelcules of lipid are glycerol and fatty acids.
- Micromoelcules of nucleic acid are nucleotides.
Macromolecules
Macromolecule is a large complex molecule, like nucleic acid, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. It is formed of recurring subunits called monomers. They include the basis of various life processes, such as giving energy, transferring and storing genetic information, and supporting cellular structures. Their diverse roles enable the functioning and growth of living organisms.
