The statement that is FALSE about macromolecules is:
**All macromolecules have the same basic structure.**
While macromolecules (such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids) are all large molecules formed by linking smaller units together, they do not share the same basic structure, as each type of macromolecule is composed of different building blocks and has distinct structural characteristics.
