Question
monomers and
polymers
like sugar, many
large molecules are
polymers, which are
made up of smaller
molecules called
monomers.
glucose is a
monomer, meaning
that multiple glucose
molecules can be
assembled together
to make a large
starch molecule.
starch is a polymer.
the glucose
molecule forms a six-
sided ring, so each
hexagon represents
a single glucose
molecule.
drag and drop
glucose molecules in
a line to build a
polymer.
starch
glucose
The problem is about monomers (glucose) and polymers (starch) in biology, specifically biochemistry related to carbohydrates. Glucose is a monomer, and starch is a polymer formed by linking glucose units. The task is to drag and drop glucose (hexagon) to build starch (polymer) by connecting multiple glucose molecules.

To solve the drag - and - drop task:
- Identify the glucose monomer (the hexagon - shaped molecule representing glucose as shown in the diagram).
- Drag the glucose (hexagon) molecules and place them in a line, connecting them (as per the structure of starch which is a polymer of glucose). Each hexagon represents one glucose monomer, and by placing multiple hexagons (glucose) in a sequence, you build the starch polymer.
