Tough Topics: Macromolecules 17 of 17 Review Macromolecules are organic molecules that serve as the basic building blocks of biological molecules in the body. Part A - Overview of Macromolecule ClassesPart complete Organic compounds are large polymers containing carbon. All cellular and tissue-based structures of the human body can be linked to at least one of these groups. Sort the descriptions into the bins of macromolecule classes.

Lipids are typically hydrocarbon chains or rings, and they are not soluble in water. Proteins are built from amino acid monomers and have various functions. Finally, nucleic acids store genetic information in the nucleotide sequence of each molecule. Part B - Biological Synthesis and Breakdown of Macromolecules Most biological molecules are built and broken down by processes involving the addition or removal of water.
