Question
## Educational Exercise on Macromolecules

### Given below is a macromolecule

![Diagram of a macromolecule](image-link-here)

### Exercise Questions

1. **Based on the functional groups shown, what type of molecule is this?**
   - _________________

2. **What are the monomers of this macromolecule called?**
   - _________________

3. **What is the name of the bond that exists between the monomers?**
   - _________________

4. **This molecule can have __ levels of structure**
   - _________________

5. **What level of structure is shown in the picture? Why do you think so?**
   - _________________

6. **If I add another chain to this molecule, what level of structure will that be?**
   - _________________

7. **What are the other levels of structure it can have and how are they formed?**
   - _________________

### Diagram Description
The diagram presented illustrates a macromolecule, characterized by a long chain composed of repeating units. This molecule contains functional groups, such as amine groups (-NH) and carboxyl groups (-COOH), typical of amino acids, suggesting it might be a protein.

### Notes
Macromolecules are large, complex molecules essential to various biological processes. Proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids are fundamental categories of macromolecules that play varied roles in cellular structures and functions.
