Okay, in order to answer this question, we first to talk about macomolecules.
00:06
Macromolecules.
00:07
Okay, so macromolecules are very large molecules, as a name says.
00:12
Okay, large molecules, macro molecules.
00:15
Okay, for example, some examples of, or one classic example of a macro molecule is going to be a protein.
00:23
In case of a protein, a protein is made of many amino acids together.
00:27
Imagine this is one amino acid, this is another amino acid, another one, another one, another one, another one.
00:30
And another more.
00:32
They can be different, but each of them is going to be an amino acid.
00:36
For example, they can be leucine, it can be lysine, it can be histidine, isolucing, thrin, and plutamic acid.
00:41
So they are different, but they are like amino acids.
00:45
And when you place many of them together, you are going to produce a protein, okay? and these macromolecules of thousands are composed of thousands of covalently bonded atoms.
00:57
Okay.
00:59
Well, many, many of macromolecules are polymers of smaller molecules called monomers.
01:03
For example, in this of, in case of this protein, it is a macro molecule, and this is a polymer of amino acids.
01:10
In case of, for example, glycogen, glycogen is a polymer of glucose molecules, because many glucose molecules together are going to produce a glycol molecule...
