All the macromolecules in the human body are basically Carbon covalently bonded to other elements- mostly Hydrogen, Oxygen and other carbon atoms. There are other elements, but they don't appear in all of the body's macromolecules.
It is Carbon.

What are really large molecules called?

Really large molecules are called macromolecules. These can include proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), polysaccharides (carbohydrates), and synthetic polymers like plastics. Macromolecules consist of repeating subunits linked together to form complex structures.


Where is a macromolecule located in the body?

Macromolecules are large molecules. Macromolecules are found in the proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acid, and lipids in the body. Macromolecules are essential to the structure and function of a cell.


Why must human body digest large macromolecules into small monomers before it can use them as an energy source?

Large macromolecules need to be broken down into small monomers because they are too large to be absorbed by cells. Digestion breaks them down into smaller molecules that can be transported across cell membranes and used by cells for energy production. This process is essential for providing the body with the necessary nutrients it needs to function properly.
