DNA basically contains double helical chains comprising of a specific sequence of amino acids. The chains are attached by hydrogen bonds between complimentery bases: A-T, G-C That way, proteins appear to be simpler since they (usually) contain linear polypeptide chains with fewer cross links. But globular proteins can have a lot of cross linking through intermolecular forces between the polypeptide chains and therefore also have double helical structure like DNA. thus no comparision in this case. But fibrous proteins are much simpler. So unless you actually specify the particular protein under reference, the comparision would be indeed vague.

Is Starch molecules bigger than protein molecules?
A protein molecule is quite a bit larger than a starch molecule.
Prokaryotic cells considered simpler then eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells are considered to be simpler than Eukaryotic cells because they have only a single, circular molecule of DNA. Prokaryotic cells do not have nuclei, and the DNA molecule is unconfined within the cell membrane.
What does a protein molecule look like?
In a way the question has no answer. Peptide bonds don't "look like" anything, because they're smaller than wavelengths of visible light. Structurally, they're formed when an amine reacts with a carboxylic acid. The amine group loses a hydrogen, the carboxylic acid group loses a hydroxyl ion, and the carbon and the nitrogen join. Unfortunately, it's not really feasible to draw the structure here, but any biochemistry book should provide examples.
Each transfer RNA molecule picks up what?

Bigger more complicated creatures will have more what than simpler ones?
organisms
Is Starch molecules bigger than protein molecules?

Does monosaccharide molecule has more atoms than a protein molecule?
The proteins molecules are bigger.
Which is a large biological molecule?
I assume you were expecting to include a list, but the answer is more than likely protein

What is bigger a water molecule or carbon atom?
Glucose molecules are bigger than water molecules.

How are ribosomes structurally different than other organelles?
ribo
Are carbohydrates structurally more complex than fats and proteins?
yes they are
Difference between Gram atom and gram molecule?
It's much simpler than you're probably thinking. You use the term gram atomic weight for atoms, and the term gram molecular weight for molecules. That's all. The gram molecular weight of a molecule is the sum of the gram atomic weights of the atoms making up that molecule.
Is a virus bigger than a prokaryote?
Viruses are typically composed of RNA surrounded by a capsid (protein shell). This would mean by definition that the virus molecule, which is technically considered nonliving, is larger than a protein strand (because the capsid is made of protein).

Is a molecule of oxygen larger than a molecule of hydrogen?
A single oxygen atom is smaller than a molecule.
