How would you distinguish the biomolecules? What is the criteria for classifying a biomolecule as a macromolecule or a micromolecule?
Danielle A.
You narrow down your options by searching for macromolecules or organelles unique in either sample. In Sample A you identify DNA which appears to be surrounded by a protein-based shell. In Sample B you do not find DNA but instead you identify RNA. There are no membrane-bound organelles in either sample. Based upon this information, what is each sample most likely containing? And why?
