  • Understanding Macromolecules: Building Blocks of Life
    The group that contains only molecules assembled from smaller organic compounds is macromolecules.

    Here's why:

    * Macromolecules are large polymers built from smaller repeating monomer subunits. These monomers are organic molecules themselves, meaning they contain carbon and hydrogen.

    * Examples of macromolecules include:

    * Carbohydrates: Made from simple sugars like glucose.

    * Lipids (fats and oils): Assembled from glycerol and fatty acids.

    * Proteins: Constructed from amino acids.

    * Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA): Built from nucleotides.
