monomers
polymers
answer bank
muscle protein dna cellulose simple sugars molecules composed of smaller subunits linked together
amino acids single molecules that can be linked together to form larger molecules

Explanation:

Monomers are single units that form polymers. Simple sugars (monosaccharides) are monomers for carbohydrates; amino acids are monomers for proteins; the definition "single molecules that can be linked together to form larger molecules" directly describes monomers. Polymers are chains of monomers: muscle protein is a protein polymer (made of amino acids), DNA is a nucleic acid polymer (made of nucleotides), cellulose is a carbohydrate polymer (made of glucose), and the definition "molecules composed of smaller subunits linked together" directly describes polymers.

Answer:

Monomers: simple sugars, amino acids, single molecules that can be linked together to form larger molecules
Polymers: muscle protein, DNA, cellulose, molecules composed of smaller subunits linked together
