The objective of this question is to identify which of the given options is not a macromolecule. Macromolecules are large, complex molecules that are typically composed of thousands of atoms. The major types of macromolecules in biochemistry are proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides.Option a) Ala refers to Alanine, which is an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, but they are not macromolecules themselves. They are much smaller and simpler in structure.Option b) Protein is a macromolecule. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids, and they can be very large and complex.Option c) Polysaccharide is also a macromolecule. Polysaccharides are long chains of sugar molecules, and they can be very large and complex.Option d) Nucleic acid is a macromolecule. Nucleic acids are made up of chains of nucleotides, and they can be very large and complex.Among the given options, Ala (Alanine) is not a macromolecule. It is an amino acid, which is a building block of proteins, but not a macromolecule itself.
