1. Carbohydrate,

2. Proteins

3. Lipids, and  

4. Nucleic acids.  

Elements they common share

             All these macromolecules have three elements in common which are:

1. Carbon

2. Hydrogen, and

3. Oxygen.  

                   These elements constitute about 95% of human body.

Difference in Chemical properties

                    Carbohydrate is composed of glucose monomers, which may have aldehyde functional group or ketone functional group. Protein is composed of monomers called amino acids. Each amino acid has carboxylic functional group, amino group, alkyl or aryl group and hydrogen atom. Lipid is composed of fatty acids and glycerol. While nucleic acid is composed of monomer called nucleotide. Each nucleotide is composed of pentose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous group. Due to the presence of different functional groups all these macromolecules have chemical properties different from each one

Does female sperm and male sperm look different
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

the Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome.

Explanation:

The male has an X and Y sex chromosome which is an exception to the general rule that homologous chromosomes are identical as the Y chromosome is smaller thus enabling it to swim faster than the X chromosome. The Y chromosome also has a longer lifespan compared to the X chromosome. The male genotypes is XY. Males are heterogametic as they produce two types of gametes, one carrying the X and the other carrying a Y chromosome.
