It is the middle one. Explanation coming.

I guess it should be the 1st one !

the middle one was wrong

egaddindustries · Answer

All macromolecules are polymers, but not all polymers are macromolecules. Basically, a macromolecule is a polymer that "let itself go", or is one that's freaky big (from a molecular comparison), like a lipid. Concerning complex molecules with random atoms, that'd be chaotic, with a lot of bonding & energy-release occurring. The order goes like this: Monomers combine to make polymers, that, if they become quite large, are considered macromolecules.

OH! NOT TRUE! I didn't see that....

LOL

rushwr · Answer

@EGaddIndustries  Polymers are made up of monomers. Monomers are the building blocks of polymers.

egaddindustries · Answer

Yeah, I know. I saw "true", but not the capitalized NOT...-_- My bad!

egaddindustries · Answer

@Rushwr Shouldn't it be the last one? If it is the first, what exactly makes it incorrect?

rushwr · Answer

Polymers aren't made of random atoms. It has the repeating unit called monomer.

egaddindustries · Answer

Ok. I just knew not all polymers were macromolecules, yet all macromolecules are polymers.
