Macromolecule
A macromolecule is a very large molecule commonly created by polymerization of smaller subunits. In biochemistry, macromolecules are the three conventional biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates), as well as non-polymeric molecules with large molecular mass such as lipids.
Micromolecule
• A molecule of relatively low molecular weight.Monomers are considered a micromolecule that can be linked together to form polymer.
• Inorganic compounds like water and minerals are examples of micromolecules.
• Vitamin are also micromolecule.

Orange
• excellent source of vitamin C• vitamin A,• good source of B-complex vitamins• contains a very good amount of minerals like potassium and calcium.
Role-: Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps control heart rate and blood pressure through countering sodium actions.

Function
• Repair and Maintenance• Energy• Hormones Insulin, a small protein, is an example of a hormone that regulates blood sugar.
• Enzymes• Transportation and Storage of Molecules For example, hemoglobin is a protein that transports oxygen throughout the body
Other source of protein

Milk Protein: Helps build and repair body tissues, including muscles and bones.
Vitamin A: Aids bone and tooth development. Also aids in the maintenance of night vision and healthy skin.
Vitamin B12: Aids in red blood cell formation.
FATS- good source of fats.
Vitamin D: Enhances calcium and phosphorus absorption, on which strong bones and teeth depend.
Calcium: Aids in the formation and maintenance of strong bones and healthy teeth.
Magnesium: Factor in bone and teeth health, conversion of food into energy and tissue formation.
Phosphorus: Factor in the formation and maintenance of strong bones and healthy teeth.
Potassium: Aids in the correct functioning of nerves and muscles.
Zinc: Factor in tissue formation, including bones
