Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell and they are of two types: ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Nucleic acids are made up of macromolecules called nucleotides. Complete answer: Nucleotides are the macromolecules that constitute the nucleic acids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Macromolecules are also termed as polymers. They are formed by the polymerisation of molecules such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The monomer units of macromolecules are polar in nature, with their heads and tails with different physical and chemical properties.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macromolecules are made up of single units known as monomers that are joined by covalent bonds to form larger polymers.
