Dear Student
 
In general the macromolecules are made up of thousands of smaller molecules and polymers are links of monomers.
 
A macromolecule is a large molecule that typically does not have any repeating units, while polymer always has repeting units.
 
Lipids are macromolecules that aren't polymers, as their structure does not consist of a repeating chain of monomers. Proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids are all macromolecules and polymers.
 
We hope that clarifies your query.
