Macromolecules
An introduction to macromolecules so you can understand science better
Course Description
Are you struggling with understanding the key concepts of macromolecules and polymers?
Every science student needs to understand macromolecules as they are found in all living cells. I am giving away this free course to give you the knowledge you need to understand what makes up each of the four class macromolecules. You will then apply to all future biology or biochemistry courses.
What you will learn at the end of this course:
- Know four main types of macromolecules
- Be able to describe the monomeric units for each polymer
- Describe the formation and break down of polymers
- Know the different bonds used to make each polymer
Plus receive a free reference guide!
Difficulty level: Very easy

Over my years of teaching, I have seen a lot of students struggle with the basic concepts of the four main types of macromolecules that are found in cells. I have seen many misconceptions, and assumptions made that it is too hard to learn fast.So I have created this mini course to save you the time and trouble of learning the hard way.With my passion of teaching science, and your motivation to learn, I will help you reach your goal to understand the key aspects of macromolecules and be able to apply that knowledge with confidence.
