The literal definition of the term macromolecule implies any large molecule. The term macromolecule was coined by Nobel laureate Hermann Staudinger in the 1920s.
In the context of science and engineering, the term may be applied to conventional polymers and biopolymers (such as DNA) as well as non-polymeric molecules with large molecular mass such as lipids or macrocycles. However, other large networks of atoms, such as metallic covalent networks or fullerenes, are not generally described as macromolecules.

What macromolecules are in honey?
Honey hasn't macromolecules.
What does pH do to the structure and function of macromolecules?
Some macromolecules are best at acertain pH value. An increase or decrease in the pH value may alter the shape and cripple the function of the macromolecule.
Nucleic acids and carbohydrates are both types of .?

What is the name for large molecules made up of smaller molecules?
The general term for very large molecules is "macromolecules". There are special terms for different specific types of macromolecules, like "polymers" or "proteins", and most people studying them specialize in one or another specific type.
What are some macromolocules?
Macromolecules are polymers. There are bio-polymers such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and DNA, and there are synthetic polymers such as plastics (polystyrene and polyvinylchloride) and synthetic fibres. Nylon and terylene are also considered macromolecules.
What are the organic macromolecules in different types of foods?
Foods contain proteins, carbohydrates and lipids which are three different types of macromolecules. However, there are far more than three types of macromolecules, some of which are also found in food.
How many macromolecules are there?
There are four macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, protiens, and nucleic acid.
