Macromolecules

Despite the greatly limited scope of the universe, people have spent centuries searching for the explanations to how life existed on this planet. Indeed, the atomic structures that form the basis of matter still must exist in order to develop life, but what significant atomic structures are there to make this happen? Respectively, a much broader scale can be utilized to assemble the main components for life, which they are called macromolecules. Macromolecules are very large molecular structures that contain carbon and are the vital organs for the structure and function of all living things. The first macromolecule that will be addressed is the carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are found in most plants and animals and are usually represented as sugars,
Carbohydrates are made up of monomers called monosaccharides, which monosaccharides are made up of two different functional groups: carbonyl and hydroxyl. The second macromolecule is the lipid and the lipid is made up of three elements, which they are oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. Lipids have monomers that are called fatty acids and these monomers are made up of carboxyl and methyl groups. This macromolecule is used for long term energy storage, insulation, waxes, and hormones. Third, proteins are the rulers of the world as they are present in almost every activity of living things. Specifically, proteins are macromolecules that are used for enzymes, antibodies, and structure. Usually, proteins are made up of four elements, which they are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen. In addition, proteins have monomers called amino acids and they are made up of carboxyl and amino groups. Lastly, the final macromolecule is the nucleic acid. Nucleic acids are the bosses of all macromolecules because they contain specific DNA to instruct the actions taken place within a
