BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Four major types of macromolecules-proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids-play these important roles in the life of a cell. In terms of overall structure, all macromolecules except the lipids are considered polymers.

Detailed explanation-2: -11.1 Introduction: The Four Major Macromolecules These are the carbohydrates, lipids (or fats), proteins, and nucleic acids. All of the major macromolecule classes are similar, in that, they are large polymers that are assembled from small repeating monomer subunits.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are four major classes of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids); each is an important cell component and performs a wide array of functions. Combined, these molecules make up the majority of a cell’s dry mass (recall that water makes up the majority of its complete mass).
