Wellmon-Macromolecules

Macromolecules are vital for various biological functions and are composed of distinct elements and monomers. Lipids, made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO), primarily function in energy storage, body insulation, and organ protection, with examples including fats, oils, and phospholipids.
