Which of the following statements are correct about macromolecules? (Choose all correct responses) Macromolecules are large molecules which are made by chemically bonding smaller molecules (monomers or subunits) together Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids are all examples of organic macromolecules because they are all large and they all contain carbon Because all the energy is tied up in the bonds, macromolecules have very little energy in them Enzymes can break macromolecules down into their respective subunits or monomers.

All of the statements in the question about macromolecules are true, except that saying "Because all the energy is tied up in the bonds, macromolecules have very little energy in them"

Explanation:

Macromolecules are organic because all of them contain carbon chemical bonds. These bonds use to be covalent, and they are strong. It means that they are not really easy to break. These bonds represent potential energy, and breaking them releases the necessary energy for cells subsistence (ATP generation for example).
