What are macro molecules?

Answer 1

A molecule containing a very large number of atoms.

Answer 2

Macromolecules are large molecules essential for the structure and function of living organisms. They include proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), carbohydrates, and lipids. These molecules are made up of smaller subunits called monomers, which join together through chemical reactions to form polymers.

Answer 3

'Macro' from Classical Greece, means 'Very Large'.

So a macromolecule is one that contains thousands if not millions of atoms. Polymers like PVC are macromolecules. It formula is

-[-CH2-CHCl-]-(n)

Where 'n' can be veryu large, thousands if not millions.

The opposite of macro is 'MICRO' . meaning 'very small' . An example would be 'water'.

Answer 4

A macromolecule is a very large molecule commonly created by some form of polymerization. In biochemistry, the term is applied to the four conventional biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids), as well as non-polymeric molecules with large molecular mass such as macrocycles. The constituent molecules from which macromolecules are assembled are called monomers.

Answer 5

A macromolecule is a molecule in which there are many atoms linked together.

All polymers are macro molecules,but not all macromolecules are not polymers because a polymer is linked with monomers.

Answer 6

The scientific term, marcomolecule, refers to a molecule which encompasses a large number of atoms. Although the term is used loosely to describe a large molecule, it is generally accepted that molecules with more than 1,000 atoms are marcomolecules.

Answer 7

Giant molecules made from thousands or even hundreds of thousands of smaller molecules (Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids).

Answer 8

Macroergic molecules are molecule that can store energy

Example: ATP (12.000 cal/mol) , PC (13.000/mol)

Answer 9

Proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates are macromolecules.

Answer 10

Protein .
