Understanding Macromolecules in Living Organisms

Learn about the four main types of macromolecules - proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates - that control all activities in living organisms. Explore indicators and tests for macromolecules such as Benedict's, Iodine, Biuret, and Sudan IV solutions. Understand the color changes that indicate the presence of these macromolecules.
