Monomers.
A very large organic compound made up of chains of smaller molecules is a polymer. Polymers are macromolecules formed by repeating units of smaller molecules called monomers. Examples of polymers include proteins, DNA, and synthetic plastics.
Macromolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids, are made up of smaller organic molecules linked together. These macromolecules are the result of polymerization reactions where smaller organic compounds, called monomers, join together to form larger, more complex structures.
These organelles are called lysosomes. They contain enzymes that break down various macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates into smaller molecules that can be used by the cell for energy or building new structures. Lysosomes help maintain cellular homeostasis by recycling cellular waste and removing damaged organelles.
Because macromolecules are large molecules and are insoluble. It is easier to store them and use them when they have been hydrolysed to smaller molecules and are made soluble.
All enzymes are macromolecules called proteins.
Macromolecules are giant molecules that are formed when thousands of smaller units of identical molecules are joined together. This process of joining together smaller identical units into a large macromolecules (polymer) is called polymerisation.

No, large molecules containing carbon atoms are not called micromolecules. They are typically referred to as macromolecules. Micromolecules generally refer to smaller molecules like water, salts, and simple sugars.
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.
