  • Understanding DNA: The Building Blocks of Life - Nucleotides
    The macromolecules that make up DNA are nucleotides.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is a long polymer made up of repeating units called nucleotides.

    * Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA. Each nucleotide consists of three components:

    * A sugar molecule (deoxyribose in the case of DNA)

    * A phosphate group

    * A nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine)

    So, to answer your question directly: DNA is made up of nucleotides, which are the macromolecules that make up DNA.
