The large molecules necessary for life that are built from smaller organic molecules are called
biological macromolecules. There are four major classes of biological macromolecules
(carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), and each is an important component of the cell
and performs a wide array of functions. Combined, these molecules make up the majority of a cell’s
mass. Biological macromolecules are organic, meaning that they contain carbon. In addition, they
may contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and additional minor elements.
