identify macro and micro molecules :- H2O,glucose,protiens,amino acids,ftty acids, starch , glucerol,nucleotides,CO2,ATP,ADP,AMP

@PRAETORIAN.10 @superhelp101

OpenStudy (aaronq):

The distinction is based on the size, so look up their chemical structures and categorize them. By the way, you might encounter some ambiguity when it comes to larger yet still small molecules, like nucleotides, these are still micro-.

OpenStudy (frostbite):

You could use the monomer vs polymer concept to distinguish between micro vs. macro?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

micro molecules :- H2O,CO2,glucose,amino acids,fatty acids,glycerol,nucleotides,ATP,ADP,AMP and only protien and starch are macro molecules .. am i ryt? @aaronq @Frostbite

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Or any molecule on the form \(\sf (C_{x}H_{y}O_{z}N_{v})_{n}\)

OpenStudy (aaronq):

Looks fine. I agree with Frosty that it's simpler if you think about monomer/polymers they make.. next time haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any molecule of this form wil b macro molecule @Frostbite ?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

I just make a fast example.- Starch is glucose linked from a condensation (that removal of water) So if we fast write chemical structure for glucose which is \(\sf C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\) minus the water. we can could write a structure for stench that is: \(\large \sf (C_{6} H_{11} O_{5})_{n} ~~~~~~~ n=2,3,4....\)

i got it thanoooo ;) @Frostbite
