through photosynthesis and consumed by mitochondria through cell
respiration.
This holds an organisms hereditary information.
This is a macromolecule that holds cell information in a coded form. Made of
sugar, phosphate and
nitrogen-containing bases.
A macromolecule made up of mainly carbon and hydrogen atoms that is
primarily used for energy storage and in cell membranes.
A macromolecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, which
is used by the body for growth and repair.
This is the repeating structural unit that forms RNA and DNA.
This is a molecule with a large molecular mass. Many examples come from
biology and in particular biochemistry.
