Identify the goal of the matching task

The task is to match each polymer (listed on the left rows) with its corresponding monomer or building block (listed in the columns).

Match Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are macromolecules made of simple sugar units. Their monomers are monosaccharides (such as glucose).

Match Proteins

Proteins are polymers made of amino acid chains. Their monomers are amino acids.

Match Lipids

Lipids (specifically triglycerides) are composed of glycerol and fatty acid chains. While not traditional repeating polymers, these are their building blocks.

Match Nucleic Acids

Nucleic acids (such as DNA and RNA) are polymers made of nucleotide chains. Their monomers are nucleotides.

<answer>

Polymer	Monomer / Building Block
Proteins	Amino Acids
Lipids	Glycerol + Fatty Acid Chains
Nucleic Acids	Nucleotides
