Macromolecules Everything on Earth is made of carbon. Due to this complex molecules are formed. These complex molecules are macromolecules. Macromolecules are polymers, formed by dehydration synthesis. Dehydration Synthesis is when monomers are combines and water is removed. There are four types of macromolecules, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Carbohydrates are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. With a structural components such as glucose and sugar. Carbohydrates can be singular molecules such as monosaccharides, or multiple molecules such as disaccharides. Monosaccharides are glucose and fructose, while disaccharides are sucrose and lactose. These function to store energy in the body. Macromolecules
