Explanation / Answer

Macromolecules consists of smaller subunits called monomers that can be covalently bonded together to create larger molecules called monosaccharides. Carbohydrates, a class of macromolecules are made up of subunits called polymers and when many carbohydrates are linked together they are called polysaccharides.

Lipids are bio molecules which functions as storage material and as structural components of a cell.

b. Serves a long term energy storage to control growth and development, as major components in cell membrane.

d. Function in the storage and transmission of genetic meterial.

Option a is not clear as in could not able to read the full sentence.
