  • Macromolecules: Understanding Carbohydrates & Proteins
    Here are two types of macromolecules:

    1. Carbohydrates: These are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are important for energy storage, structural support, and cell signaling. Examples include sugars, starches, and cellulose.

    2. Proteins: These are large, complex molecules made up of amino acids. They play crucial roles in a wide variety of biological processes, including:

    * Enzymes: Catalyze (speed up) chemical reactions.

    * Structural components: Provide support and shape to cells and tissues.

    * Hormones: Act as chemical messengers.

    * Antibodies: Help the immune system fight off infection.

    * Transport proteins: Move molecules across cell membranes.
