Question
5/25
enzymes are composed of which of the following monomers?
nucleotides
monosaccharides
carbohydrates
amino acids
Enzymes are mostly proteins (with some being RNA, but the common monomer - based enzymes are protein - based). The monomers of proteins are amino acids. Nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA), monosaccharides are monomers of carbohydrates, and carbohydrates are a type of macromolecule, not a monomer. So the monomer of enzymes (when they are proteins) is amino acids.
