I learned that macromolecules are the main molecules and they break down into monomers and polymers.In these notes I also learned that there are four different types of macromolecules. One is protein which is very important to all living organisms, two is lipids which are fatty acid ester, they are the building blocks or biological membranes as well as energy storage, 3 is carbohydrates which are organic compounds, examples are sugars, starch, and cellulose, and the 4 is nucleic acids which are the basic classes of macromolecules studied in biochemistry.
I also learned that carbohydrates can not be made by using acids because the acid destroys the carbohydrates. For example when Mr. Ludwig showed us the sugar mixed with the Sulfuric acid the acid took over and destroyed the carbohydrate.
