From the Major Precursors, the Complex Biomolecules are Made in Which

Question

From the major precursors, the complex biomolecules are made in which sequence?
A) metabolites, building blocks, macromolecules, supramolecular complexes
B) macromolecules, building blocks, metabolites, supramolecular complexes
C) building blocks, macromolecules, supramolecular complexes, metabolites
D) metabolites, macromolecules, building blocks, supramolecular complexes
E) metabolites, building blocks, supramolecular complexes, macromolecules

Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for the synthesis of complex biomolecules starts with metabolites, which are simple organic molecules. These metabolites serve as building blocks for the synthesis of macromolecules (like proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides). Macromolecules can then assemble into supramolecular complexes, which are large structures composed of multiple molecules held together by non-covalent bonds. This sequence reflects the hierarchical nature of molecular biology, from small molecules to complex structures.
