Question
match each monomer to its polymer! *
sugar fatty acid amino acid nucleotide
protein
carbohydrate
nucleic acid
lipid
Brief Explanations
- Proteins are composed of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.
- Carbohydrates are made up of sugar monomers (such as monosaccharides like glucose) which can form polysaccharides (a type of carbohydrate polymer).
- Nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA) are polymers of nucleotides.
- Lipids, in the context of certain lipid polymers (though lipids can be more complex in structure compared to the other biopolymers in a simple monomer - polymer sense as some lipids are not strictly linear polymers in the same way), but when considering the common monomer - polymer relationship for the sake of this question, fatty acids (along with glycerol in the case of triglycerides, but if we assume the simple monomer - polymer match as per the given options) can be considered as a component monomer for some lipid - like structures (e.g., in the formation of some complex lipids).
