Substances that are not macromolecules include monomers, small organic molecules that join together to form polymers (macromolecules). These monomers include:
- amino acids (monomers of proteins)
- monosaccharides (monomers of carbohydrates)
- nucleotides (monomers of nucleic acids).
Therefore, any substance made up of one of these monomers would not be considered a macromolecule. For example, glucose (a monosaccharide) is not a macromolecule, but it can form a macromolecule when it is joined together with other glucose molecules to form a polysaccharide like starch or glycogen.
