Question

Differentiate between Macromolecules and Micromolecules.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Micromolecules are relatively small molecules that are combined together to form a macromolecule. Micromolecules have low molecular weight and contain a small number of atoms. ... Unlike micromolecules, macromolecules are relatively larger molecules with a high molecular weight.

Micromolecule Examples

Biological micromolecules are present naturally in the body. They are essential for life. Examples of micromolecules are sugars, amino acids, nucleic acids, fatty acids, water, and minerals.

Sugars

Sugars are combined together forming carbohydrates. Sugars contain only carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Glucose is one of the most important micromolecules that form carbohydrates. It may be found in the form of a ring (cyclic glucose) or an open-chain (acyclic glucose). In plants, glucose micromolecule is produced during photosynthesis where carbon dioxide and water produce glucose and oxygen in a biochemical reaction. Then, the glucose is stored in the plant in various ways. It may be polymerized forming carbohydrates such as starch that animals and other organisms can feed on.
