A. organic molecules of only c and h: example: methane (ch4). Iii. concept 5. 1: macromolecules are polymers built from monomers. A. macromolecules: macromolecules are large molecules formed by thousands of atoms. B. four classes found in cells: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids. A. made of c, h, and o: approximate ratio of ch2o. B. monomers are sugars: 3-7 carbons, hydroxyl groups, and carbonyl group, very hydrophilic. C. sugars" names tend to end in -ose : example: glucose. G. carbohydrate summary: made of c,h, and o, monomers = sugars, for storage and structure.
