A molecule containing a very large number of atoms.
'Macro' from Classical Greece, means 'Very Large'.
So a macromolecule is one that contains thousands if not millions of atoms. Polymers like PVC are macromolecules. It formula is
-[-CH2-CHCl-]-(n)
Where 'n' can be veryu large, thousands if not millions.
The opposite of macro is 'MICRO' . meaning 'very small' . An example would be 'water'.
A macromolecule is a very large molecule commonly created by some form of polymerization. In biochemistry, the term is applied to the four conventional biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids), as well as non-polymeric molecules with large molecular mass such as macrocycles. The constituent molecules from which macromolecules are assembled are called monomers.
A macromolecule is a molecule in which there are many atoms linked together.
All polymers are macro molecules,but not all macromolecules are not polymers because a polymer is linked with monomers.
The scientific term, marcomolecule, refers to a molecule which encompasses a large number of atoms. Although the term is used loosely to describe a large molecule, it is generally accepted that molecules with more than 1,000 atoms are marcomolecules.
Giant molecules made from thousands or even hundreds of thousands of smaller molecules (Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids).
Macroergic molecules are molecule that can store energy
Example: ATP (12.000 cal/mol) , PC (13.000/mol)
Proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates are macromolecules.
Protein .
the molecules required by our body in small quantity is kown as macro molecules
Carbohydrates are macro molecules made by bonding a large number of glucose molecules. They are organic compounds. They contain elements Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
ice is water molecules and is inorganic.
Most - CH4 Least - unanswerable as so very many high molecular weight hydrocarbons have almost no vapour pressure. Hydrocarbon would include compounds such as macro-molecules of rubbers and other 3 dimensional polymers.
A macro mineral is needed in large quantities whereas trace elements are minerals required in small quantities

No, iron is a metallic element and do not exists as molecules, macro molecules are those which contain thousands of atoms or molecules as a single unity as starch, proteins etc.
