Question

A. Define characteristics of macromolecules​

Answer 1

➠ AnSwer :-

• A macromolecule is a very large molecule, such as protein, commonly created by polymerization of smaller subunits (monomers). They are typically composed of thousands of atoms or more.

• Having unusual physical properties that do not occur for smaller molecules.

• common macromolecular property that does not characterize smaller molecules is their relative insolubility in water and similar solvents, instead forming colloids.

• Many require salts or particular ions to dissolve in water. Similarly, many proteins will denature if the solute concentration of their solution is too high or too low.
