Big ones.
Seriously, macromolecules are complex polymers of (I guess) biological
significance.
Nucleic acids are a good example, being composed of the four bases in a
long
polymer. Proteins are another, composed of amino acids, and
polysaccharides
are another, composed of long strings of sugars. I don't know if this is
to vague, but I hope it answers your question.
Anthony.
