BIOMOLECULES WORKSHEET (ch 6.4) name: Keay PART1: BUILDING A MACROMOLECULE: Allliving things make large molecules, called macromolecules, from smaller molecules. Macromolecules can be made from a few repeating units, or ‘can be composed of hundreds or thousands of smaller molecules, Each macromolecule has proper quite different from the units of which is composed.
