The Structure and Function of Macromolecules

Large organic molecules that form when smaller organic molecules are joined by a chemical bond.

• Macromolecules

• Nucleotides

• Enzymes

• Glucose

Organic molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They include sugars, starch, cellulose, and glycogen. Primary source of energy for most organisms

• lipids

• carbohydrates
