The Four Vital Macromolecules of Biology: Structure, Differences, and Functions

Biology is an intricate tapestry of interactions and functions, with the fundamental building blocks being macromolecules. These large molecules play significant roles in almost all biological functions and processes. They are crucial for the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs. Let’s delve into the four primary macromolecules, exploring their differences and…

Although the drawing may seem like an ordinary burger, this burger consists of macromolecules that we encounter every single day. The hamburger buns, tomatoes, lettuce, and ketchup represents forms of carbohydrates. The hamburger patty represents protein. The cheese represents a form of a lipid.

The major macromolecules include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. We do not consume nucleic acids, but they describe two of the most important substances to life. DNA and RNA. Carbs are mostly known for providing energy to organisms. Lipids are known for being nonpolar and poorly mixing or interacting with water. However lipids make up important structures such as the phospholipid bilayer within the plasma membrane of a cell. Proteins are an essential component of muscles and enzymes within the body.

Wonders of Science

Hello boys and girls. My name is Robin and today we will be talking about the Wonders of Science. Let's talk about macromolecules, or the things we put inside our bodies. They are different foods and drinks that can help you survive. Having different molecules bring down giving water back in return to replenish what we lost. When we look at the Earth, it is mainly carrying carbon. Without it, we will not survive. The entire planet would die, just like Pluto, we would be considered no more. Another thing our Earth needs is water, providing food for some and energy for all. It is seventy-percent of our bodies, weighing over half on other parts of the body. Coming in three different forms (solid, gas, and liquid), provides every living thing on Earth a chance to survive. Having science is to question everything in your presence. Chemistry is a the reason for those things, expanding how big we view the world. Breaking down atoms to give back something more resourceful to the world. This brings you the Scientific Method. Scientific Method starts making observations. Doing research and finding out the answers one step at a time. When you can ask the hypothesis (question), you can solve the problem. Thank you all and I hope you enjoy the read.

There’s something about donning a white lab coat and using a microscope that makes you feel like a real scientist — but maybe I’m just romanticizing all this again.

Feeling that whole "emerges from Word document covered in blood" vibe rn, except it's for work and not fun things like porn, so my brain cells are each screaming in a different voice

#that was. sure a document. #don't suppose any of ya'll have nice non-mindbreaking things i could edit #god #fucking macromolecules #the last two days were sure something

Fun fact about us: we really, really like doing crossovers, whether between different Things or just between different AUs of the same Thing. We deeply enjoy throwing things into each other and seeing the relative "normal" interact, tinkering with different potential outcomes of the same general thing, fucking around with culture clash and alternate realities, and all of that fun stuff.

Unfortunately, we also get into flavors of media that isn't quite finished a lot, and we often really want to throw together AUs that we have to write ourself together with things, which means that we're nearly constantly running into the same handful of roadblocks: it's really hard to write about stuff when people have no idea what you're talking about, and it's also really hard to write about stuff when you don't know half of what's going on.

This means that a decent chunk of our writing that is finished tends to stay in drafts - fics based on information that needs to be revealed in stuff we haven't yet written, fics based on media where half of the things we need to know aren't yet revealed in canon, and similar situations easily make up our second most common category of "finished but unpublished" and "finished except for That One Thing" fic (our first most common category is "we need to come up with a decent opening and writing a good hook is hard")

This is, of course, a hell of our own creation. A problem of our own authorship, that we still consistently fail to escape because of our sense of pride and unwillingness to turn out anything that isn't at least half-decent. Similar to the way that we force ourself to reread any media that we write fic of for the sake of accuracy before we can publish it. It makes things take longer, but allows us to ensure quality - though it may hold us back from a certain degree of self-indulgence, mischaracterization is the thing that bothers us most, and if we release a misreading or mischaracterization, that'll haunt us more than any level of soul-baring ever count.

Anyways, all of this is to say that peak self-indulgence for us looks like an isekai Dungeon Meshi/Runaway to the Stars crossover where we stick a handful of characters into the dungeon and let them just kind of cope with that for the forseeable future and the only thing stopping us from doing this is a sense of pride and the fact that Runaway to the Stars doesn't actually have finished & published books right now.

#we speak #writing #no clue if thisll go in the tags for either of those pieces of media. tag search is very inconsistent on that. #if you're looking at this from a fandom tag then hi #this is the same force that keeps 99% of our hbg fic in development hell and the same thing that keeps our multichapters in limbo #if you see us say “we're writing something” and then we don't post it then theres like a 80% chance that its one of three things #either we couldn't make a decent intro we ran into a “need to post this before this” error or we ran into a missing info error #assuming that we didn't get stuck on the reread ofc #sometimes this will also make us into a massive hater because we put large amounts of effort into making things Consistent and Functional #and then we run into authors that Don't do that and we're like “what the hell dude why is your world so sloppy theres holes in here” #the problem is that we unfortunately probably thought it through more than you and now we're in the pit again #anyways. do you guys think that the dungeon could spawn monsters that are edible for talita if she got hungry enough in there #can the dungeon manufacture centaur macromolecules. could talita eat dungeon meat. could the dungeon make centaur safe meatplants #we answer this question in twenty years when rtts is done and published and we can finally write fic for it

When will you work on OTT again? :0 I love it sm but no pressure ofc!

UGH because i've actually been thinking about it recently too.... overall no promises because I'm really busy now that I have a #real job but I still think about returning to OTT from time to time!! I just want to figure out the best way .... here's a drawing for you in the meantime.

#step 1 will be spiffying up the website and adding complete biographies for all the characters #I might return to doing occasional comics as well but was interested in taking a more “purist” educational tone #and i want to draw more macromolecules and compounds as well #so theres that.......... #ask #asks

[the-faultofdaedalus]

the dual delight and frustration you feel about realizing you know enough about a thing now to be able to know what characters are talking about during the technobabble and also to realizing that they don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about

#JUST AN ELECTROPHORESIS? JUST THAT? #i don’t think there’s any way you get the information simmons has with Just a gel #that is never the first and last thing you would do #like sure you could get the sizes? and if you have other molecules in there you could get and indication of that #also what the fuck do you mean by extra macromolecules in her dna #SIMMONS WHAT

I think I'm very funny

Okay i have 3.5 dndads eps to catch up on…I gotta do a little violin practice then I can listen while finishing a bio worksheet + writing my English project proposal…after THAT I’ll either study bio or work on villaintines depending on what the vibes are

#u guys get to see my planning in action #I’ll probably try and do some villaintines costume design n sketches #and then study a couple bio chapters afterwards just to finish up the macromolecules section I was doing before

Strong disagree about the digestive system

From heartburn to storing unregulated fat to hemorrhoids, whole tract is bad news

oh, no you're being unfair!! these are maladies! things that can go wrong! if you thought of the lungs as only a possible place for the invasion of inhaled pathogens, you'd think the same thing of the respiratory system! you can't write the body off as a place where things can go wrong, because everything can sour and function poorly!!

on its own, when it's working optimally, it's lovely. i don't think there's anything in the world more beautiful and convoluted than the small intestine. the specialization of the brush border, from the circular folds to the villi to the microvilli individual projections on the surface of the simple columnar cells... i've never loved anything more. there can be something so personal about the majority of nutrient uptake happening there... it's absolutely and wholeheartedly romantic.

the babylonians believed the liver was so magnificent and marvelous that it must have housed the soul... they were onto something! i mean it!!

#asks #yes when things go south they go WAY south in the digestive tract but... such is life. the whole alimentary canal is designed like the #ideal breeding ground for an internal human trophic cascade--that's what we get for opening ourselves to the environment w not one but TWO #places #but i think that's what makes it so appealing and neat. technically speaking #a lot of the food processed by the body w/ the exception of the smallest constituents of macromolecules (the amino acids of proteins...) #which enter into the blood and lymph circulation through the capillaries in the microvillli #is medically considered to be 'outside the body' even though it's within the canal. it's cool!! it's cool!!! at the very least it beats the #systems on the worst list #i mean. can we talk about the circulatory system please. that shit SUCKS #also this is hilarious and wonderful. thank u for sending it #does anyone else have an opinion about ranking the body systems because i would (genuinely) love to hear it

Many of these are natural constituents of proteins, biological macromolecules made of long chains of amino acids that are described in chapter 24.

I have never studied so much in my life but suddenly I actually want to do well in school like oh shit right in getting this degree cuz I want to not cuz I have to wow that changes everything

#FIRST BIO EXAM TOMORROW WISH ME LUCK #I know everything abt macromolecules I know everything abt cell structures I know basic chemistry like the back of my fucking hand #there are so many knowledge abt lipids and the endoplasmic reticulum and amino acids in this brain we are GOING to pass this exam #yearly average is 68% BUT THIS COWBOY’S DIFFERENT #shut up satan
