GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -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).

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: -Proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids are the four major classes of biological macromolecules-large molecules necessary for life that are built from smaller organic molecules. Macromolecules are made up of single units known as monomers that are joined by covalent bonds to form larger polymers.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four major biological macromolecules classes: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Together, these molecules form the majority of a cell’s mass.

Detailed explanation-5: -Proteins (polymers of amino acids) Carbohydrates (polymers of sugars) Lipids (polymers of lipid monomers) Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA; polymers of nucleotides)
