Why do macromolecules differ in the amount of energy they contain?

The energy stored in each of these macromolecules varies because their chemical structures, and therefore their energy-storing bonds,differ.

Macromolecules differ in the amount of energy they contain because they possess different chemical structures .
MACROMOLECULES :

Macromolecules , also called biomolecules are organic molecules made up of combination of simpler units.

Macromolecules include:



proteins
lipids
nucleic acids
carbohydrates


Macromolecules have the ability to store energy in their chemical bonds .

However, different macromolecules contain different amounts of energy and this can be attributed to the different chemical structures of each macromolecule .

The chemical structure of a macromolecule will determine the amount of energy that macromolecule can hold.

Macromolecules differ in energy content due to their unique chemical structures and types. Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of these molecules, with lipids generally containing the highest energy per gram, followed by carbohydrates and proteins. This variation arises from their chemical bond types and overall structural characteristics.
