Document Summary
The structure and function of large biological molecules. All living things are made up of four classes of large biological molecules; lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. As they are large molecules consisting of many covalently connected atoms. Biological molecules plays an essential role in its function. Concept 5. 1 macromolecules are polymers, built from mono. Three of the four classes of macromolecules in three of the four classes o compounds - carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids, all except the lip. A polymer is known as a long molecule consisting of many similar or ident blocks linked by covalent bonds. The repeating units that serve as the building blocks of a polymer are sma known as monomers, some monomers also have functions of their own. Even though polymers are made up of different types of monomers the ch mechanisms by which the cells make and break down polymers are basica.
