Macromolecules are made from thousands/hundred of thousands of smaller molecules(monomers). They are formed bya process called polymerization. Polymerization is the process by which large compounds are built by joining smaller ones together, or monomers coming together to make polymers. Many. How are...
Molecules are made up of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons among atoms.
Compare and contrast the four macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) including their monomer and polymer names and the functions these macromolecules perform in living organisms. What are the monomers of proteins? There are 4 major macromolecules in the cells. What is the...
Polymers are naturally occurring substances composed of macromolecules, which are in turn made up of a multiple number of simple chemical units known as monomers. Click to read more...
Carbohydrates and lipids are both types of macromolecules found in living things. Carbohydrates are often referred to as sugars and are found in different forms such as glucose and maltose. Lipids are fats, oils, waxes and steroids and are made up of fatty acids. ...
EPS is a hydrated gel composed primarily of polysaccharides and containing other macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. It plays a key role in maintaining the integrity and function of the biofilm. Channels in the EPS allow movement of nutrients, waste, and gases throughout ...
Macromolecules are typically affected by heat, therefore they have the potential to serve as thermosensors (Hayes et al.2021). As one of the most thermosensitive macromolecular structures, the plasma membrane has long been considered as a major candidate for plant thermosensing. The increase of memb...

Other polymers are also good candidates to form polymeric nanoparticles and be suitable to act as drug carriers. These include sugars [47], proteins [48] such as albumin [49], gelatin nanoparticles [50] and many other naturally occurring macromolecules. Figure 13. Schematic representation of ...
