Step 1
Living organisms are made up of various chemicals known as biomolecules. Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids are the four major classes of biomolecules in living organisms.
Three of these excluding lipids are polymers which are made up of subunits called monomers. These compounds with molecular weights greater than 1000 Dalton are considered as macromolecules.
The subunits, functions and examples of the given biomolecules are listed below
