Explanation:

Macromolecules such as carbohydrates,proteins,lipids and nucleic acids are important components of the body cells. These components are important for an organism to survive and grow.Most macromolecules are polymers.  A molecule of polymer is formed by binding of many smaller molecule called the monomers. These simple monomers linked together to form a complex polymer. The polymers and monomers are typically found the sugar. The monomers are bind together  into long chain called polymers.But lipids are not polymers because they built by different monomers which resemble each other in their composition.
