Macromolecule

  In chemistry, a Macromolecule, as a polyatomic entity, is a molecule of high relative molecular mass, the structure of which essentially comprises the multiple repetition of units derived, actually or conceptually, from molecules of low relative molecular mass.
  Macromolecules are large molecules made up of many small organic molecules, often referred to as monomers (e.g., carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids (polynucleotides)). The process of forming macromolecules from monomers is called polymerization, therefore macromolecules are polymers of monomers.
  Examples of subsets, concepts, subjects and related entities of macromolecules include:

polymers biopolymers acrylic macromolecules atactic macromolecules biomacromolecules conjugated macromolecules copolymer macromolecules dendrimer macromolecules glycopolymer macromolecules graft polymer macromolecules heteropolyacid macromolecules homopolymer macromolecules hyperbranched macromolecules
