Really large molecules are called macromolecules. These can include proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), polysaccharides (carbohydrates), and synthetic polymers like plastics. Macromolecules consist of repeating subunits linked together to form complex structures.
Macromolecules are found throughout the body in various locations such as within cells, in the extracellular matrix, and circulating in bodily fluids like blood. They play essential roles in cell structure, function, and signaling processes.
Large macromolecules need to be broken down into small monomers because they are too large to be absorbed by cells. Digestion breaks them down into smaller molecules that can be transported across cell membranes and used by cells for energy production. This process is essential for providing the body with the necessary nutrients it needs to function properly.
The total biomass of microbes is estimated to be significantly greater than that of the human population. Microbes are present in large quantities in various environments such as soil, water, and the human body, contributing to a higher overall biomass compared to humans.
The appendix is a small tube-like organ located at the junction of the small intestine and the large intestine in the lower right side of the abdomen.

The general term for very large molecules is "macromolecules". There are special terms for different specific types of macromolecules, like "polymers" or "proteins", and most people studying them specialize in one or another specific type.
The large macromolecules formed from monosaccharides are known as polysaccharides.
They are very large and strong
