|
|
polymers of smaller subunits
|
|
|
sequence of sugars
|
|
|
lipids of large molecules
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Complex carbohydrates can be chemically broken down and restructured. True. So, the answer is: Both proteins and complex carbohydrates are macromolecules that serve many functions and can be chemically broken down and restructured.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each macromolecule is broken down by a specific enzyme. For instance, carbohydrates are broken down by amylase, sucrase, lactase, or maltase. Proteins are broken down by the enzymes pepsin and peptidase, and by hydrochloric acid. Lipids are broken down by lipases.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is Lipids.
