If all the macromolecules are made mainly of the elements CHO how are they different?

The most important difference is the order in which the elements are connected together, the functional groups as we say in chemistry. C,H and O can be arranged (in differing numbers) to make alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids and esters, to name just the obvious ones. When it comes to macromolecules you can get carbohydrates and fats for instance. The number of atoms also matters, so you can get many different examples within each class.

This gives each compound different properties.

∙ 7y agoThey can be different due to the number of CHO contained in the molecule, the orientation (shape/ how the molecule is bending) of the CHO in the molecule, or a combination of both factors.

Macromolecules made of amino acids?
Macromolecules made of amino acids are called proteins.
What macromolecules are in grains?
Grains consist of carbohydrates mainly. There can be others too
What substance is added durning hydrolysis in order to break food macromolecules?
Mainly enzymes are involved. They are made up of proteins
Are all macromolecules formed from same elements?
No, but most macromolecules are organic molecules (with a backbone made of carbon atoms). But it is possible to synthetically create macromolecules with a backbone made of silicon atoms (i.e. the silicones), boron atoms (i.e. the boranes), and a few others. The atoms attached to the backbone or forming side branches extending away from the backbone can be any element on the periodic table.
What two elements of gas is gas planets made up as?
Mainly hydrogen and helium. The reason for this is simply that these are the most common elements in the Universe.
What are stars made from?
Stars are made from a lot of different elements, but when they are done they are mainly hydrogen and helium.

What elements are present in organic macromolecules?
Molecules of carbons are known as orgains. Since carbon is the main atom of carbohydrates, proteins and other macromolecules they are said to be organic. There is no in organic macromolecules exist in our cell.
What do proteins nucleic acid and carbohydrates have in common?
They are all formed from the same elements.
What different elements is the core of the earth made of?
Because of gravity, the Earth's inner layers consist of the heavy elements, mainly metals. The heavy and radioactive ones are the origin of most of the heat.

Fats are made of the same elements as carbohydrates, but in different proportions.
What kind of macromolecules is made of amino acid?
which macromolecules are polymers made of nucleotides
What are the stars made up of?
Mainly hydrogen and helium with other trace elements.
