The document discusses the four main classes of macromolecules - carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. It describes their monomers, polymers, functions, and roles in energy storage, structure, and heredity. Carbohydrates include monosaccharides like glucose, disaccharides like sucrose, and polysaccharides like starch. Lipids are involved in long-term energy storage and consist of fatty acids and glycerol. Proteins have amino acids as monomers and perform control and structural functions. Nucleic acids like DNA and RNA are made of nucleotides and have roles in heredity, protein synthesis, and energy transfer.
