Mostpolymers aremacromolecules and many biochemical molecules are macromolecules. Polymers consist of subunits, called mers, that are covalently linked to form larger structures.Proteins,DNA,RNA, and plastics are all macromolecules. Many carbohydrates and lipids are macromolecules. Carbon nanotubes are an ...
Knowledge Check Macromolecules are Anucleic acids, proteins and polysac- charides Bnucleic acids and monosaccharides Camino acids and polysaccharides Damino acids, lipids and nucleotidesSubmit What are saprobionts ?

Class IV bacteriocins are complex types of bacteriocins that require large complexes of proteins with other macromolecules and non-proteinaceous moieties for activity. This class has not been studied much yet at the biochemical level. What are Lantibiotics? Lantibiotics, a type of bacteriocin, are syn...
Apoenzymes are non-dialyzable protein macromolecules that can be destroyed by heat (thermolabile) whereas coenzymes are molecules of small size that cannot be destroyed by heat since coenzymes are not proteins, together they form a holoenzyme. Examples of enzymes consisting of apoenzymes and ...
Figure 1: Micromolecules are combined together in the form of linkage to form macromolecules or polymers. Amino acid micromolecules form proteins, fatty acids micromolecules form lipids, sugar micromolecules form glycerol and carbohydrates, while nucleobases micromolecules form DNA and RNA.

What are the 4 types of monomers? The four monomers that make up biologically important macromolecules are Monosaccharides Make up polysaccharides, or carbohydrates Fatty Acids Make up triglycerides, or lipids Amino Acids Make up polypeptides, or proteins Nucleotides Make up polynucleotides,...
More Macromolecules Biological Polymers: macromolecules formed from the joining together of small organic molecules. Carbohydrates: include saccharides or sugars and their derivatives. Proteins: macromolecules formed from amino acid monomers. Lipids: organic compounds that include fats, phospholipids, steroids,...
Proteins make up about 50 percent of the dry weight of cells and are the most abundant of the macromolecules inside the cell and of the cellular membranes. Proteins (including their lipoprotein and glycoprotein forms) also constitute 10 percent of the weight of the blood plasma of living ...
Proteins are essential macromolecules for our body’s functions. The mature tRNA carries building blocks called amino acids to a special place where proteins are made. Now, inside our cells, we have another type of molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA carries a set of instructions ...
DNA replication is completed with the help of DNA LigaseLyases are an important part of the glycolysis and Kreb cycle Ligase Function This class of enzymes plays a critical role by joining two complementary macromolecules like nucleic acid. DNA ligase enzymes carry out the repairing, replication, ...
