Distinguish between Biomicromolecules and Biomacromolecules

[prasanna]

Biomicromolecules :

1. Small in size.
2. Low molecular weights.
3. Possess simple structure.
4. Found as molecular solution in intracellular fluid.
5. Building blocks (monomers) of mac-romolecules.
6. E.g., inorganic water compounds (mineral salts, gases), organic compounds (sugars, lipids, nucleotides).
   Biomacromolecules :
   1.Large in size.
   2.High molecular weights.
   3.Possess complex structure.
   4.Found as colloidal solution in intracellular fluid.
   5.Constituted by polymerization of macromolecules.
   6.E.g., only organic compounds (polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids).
