Question
amino acids are the monomers of
carbohydrates
lipids
proteins
nucleic acids
Amino acids are the building blocks (monomers) of proteins. Proteins are polymers formed by the condensation reaction of amino acids, where a peptide bond is formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another, releasing a water molecule. Nucleic acids are made of nucleotides, lipids are a diverse group (not all have a single monomer like fatty acids and glycerol for some lipids), and carbohydrates are made of monosaccharides.
