Question

17
in the table below, check the boxes that represent the monomer for each macromolecule.
place one check mark in each row.

	simple sugars	nucleotides	amino acids	fatty acid and glycerol
carbohydrate	□	□	□	□
lipids	□	□	□	□
nucleic acids	□	□	□	□

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Macromolecule Monomers

• Proteins are made of amino acids.
• Carbohydrates (polysaccharides) are made of simple sugars (monosaccharides).
• Lipids (triglycerides) are made of fatty acids and glycerol.
• Nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) are made of nucleotides.

Step2: Mark Each Row

• Protein Row: Check "Amino Acids" (since amino acids are protein monomers).
• Carbohydrate Row: Check "Simple sugars" (simple sugars are carbohydrate monomers).
• Lipids Row: Check "Fatty Acid and Glycerol" (these are lipid monomers).
• Nucleic Acids Row: Check "Nucleotides" (nucleotides are nucleic acid monomers).

Answer:

• Protein: $\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$ Amino Acids
• Carbohydrate: $\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$ Simple sugars
• Lipids: $\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$ Fatty Acid and Glycerol
• Nucleic Acids: $\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$ Nucleotides

(Mark the respective checkboxes in the table as per above.)
