Question

match the following macromolecules with their monomers
fatty acids
and glycerolamino acidsnucleotidesmonosaccharides
proteins
lipids
carbohydrates
nucleic acids

Explanation:

• Proteins are made up of amino acids. Amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains, which then fold into functional proteins.
• Lipids (such as triglycerides) are composed of fatty acids and glycerol. Fatty acids attach to glycerol to form lipid molecules.
• Carbohydrates have monosaccharides as their monomers. Monosaccharides like glucose can polymerize to form disaccharides (e.g., sucrose) or polysaccharides (e.g., starch).
• Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are made of nucleotides. Nucleotides consist of a nitrogen - containing base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group.

Answer:

Proteins - Amino acids, Lipids - Fatty acids and glycerol, Carbohydrates - Monosaccharides, Nucleic Acids - Nucleotides
