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.
