Solution
A macromolecule is a very large molecule, that is fored as a result of polymerisation of smaller
units, called monomers.
Biomacromolecules are Proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids. Macromolecular
cellular structures are the plasma membrane composed of phospholipid bilayer and intermittently
suppported by fatty acid molecules to maintain flexibility, so that the proteins and other
molecules can pass through the lipid bi layer into and between cells.
Cholesterol regulates flexibility with variation in temperature and regulate its resistance to
stretching and bending.
E.g: fertilization of egg by sperms is an example of the flexibility of the macromolecular cellular
structures. leading to the genetic material to be transferred from sprerm to egg and forms a
zygote.
