4 Macromolecules And Their Polymers
Between heaven and earth, everything is composed of four types of macromolecules and their polymers. These four types of macromolecules, each performing its own duties, are interrelated, and form the delicate world.
One is protein, which is the cornerstone of life. It is made of amino acids polymerized, just like pearl and jade in series, with thousands of forms. Proteins have many functions, or are enzymes that catalyze and accelerate biochemical reactions; or they are structural materials that support the skeleton of cells; or they are mediators for transportation, transferring substances in the body.
The second is nucleic acid, which contains the genetic code. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are polymerized from nucleotides. DNA holds the blueprint of life and is passed down from generation to generation; RNA participates in the synthesis of proteins and deduces the melody of life according to its instructions.
The third is carbohydrates, the source of energy. Monosaccharides are polymerized into polysaccharides, such as starch, which is the energy storage of plants, and glycogen, which is the energy storage of animals. And carbohydrates also play an important role in cell recognition and immunity.
The fourth is lipids, which have unique characteristics. Fats are the best choice for energy storage, insulate and keep warm, and protect organs; phospholipids form cell membranes, define the boundaries of cells, and maintain the stability of the intracellular environment.
These four types of macromolecules and their polymers interact to build the edifice of life in the microscopic realm; in the macroscopic realm, they present the wonder of all things. Although it is formless and orderly, although it is small and vast, it is the foundation of creation in heaven and earth, and the means by which all things live.
