A.P. Biology Chapter 5 (Macromolecules)
In this quiz which focuses on the scientific topic of biology, we’ll be taking a specific look at macromolecules – which are very large molecules commonly created by the polymerization of smaller subunits. An example of these macromolecules is protein, which is a biopolymer and shares the category with nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids. What else do you know about macromolecules? Take the quiz and we’ll find out!
