Proteins are made of amino acid chains. The repitition closely resembles the repeating unit, the monomer, from polymers. Lipids are made of trigyclerides and fatty acids, much smaller molecules than the protein, which is a macromolecule.

A polymer is a chain of substances. Proteins are chains of amino acids. Lipids are fats and etc.
Proteins are made up of long chain subunits (amino acids). Lipids are short chain subunits. :-)
Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
oxygen, proteins, nitrogen...heheh......mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA
The difference between Carbohydrates (sugars) and Lipids: 1) sugars disolve in water lipids don't 2) sugars are made-up of subunits that form large polymers and lipids are not and don't form polymers. 3)Lipids store more energy than sugars. 4) sugars form stuctural components (cellulose in plants) and lipids form bountaries like the cell membrane due to hydrophobic hydrocarbons.
The organic molecules that are considered to be carbohydrates are carbon and hydrogen. Other organic molecules include lipids, nucleic acids and proteins.
Proteins and lipids are the building materials of cells.
CARBOHYDRATES- polymers of sugars LIPIDS- polymers of fatty acids PROTEINS- polymers of amino acids NUCLEIC ACIDS- polymers of nucleotides
because proteins have amino acids.
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.
Lipids do not form polymers.

Polymers, they are lipids which are long carbon chains
proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids.

They are Nucleic acid - from cells, Proteins - translated from genes, lipids - from proteins and carbohydrates - from proteins.
They are all formed from the same elements. They are part of the cell membrane (phospholipids not just lipids). polymers of smaller subunits, i believe.
