Question

match the name of the monomer to the chemical formula. drag each item on the left to its matching item on the right. nucleotide simple sugar amino acid* nh2ch2cooh c5h5n5o c6h12o6

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Amino acids have a general structure with an amino group ($-NH_2$), a carboxyl - group ($-COOH$) and a variable R - group. The formula $NH_2CH_2COOH$ and the structure with $H_3N^+-C - C=O$ with an R - group fit the amino - acid structure. Nucleotides are composed of a phosphate group, a pentose sugar and a nitrogenous base. The structure with $C_5H_5N_5O$, phosphate and sugar moieties is a nucleotide. Simple sugars have a general formula of $(CH_2O)_n$. $C_6H_{12}O_6$ is a common simple - sugar formula.

Answer:

$NH_2CH_2COOH$: amino acid
$C_5H_5N_5O$ (with phosphate and sugar structure): nucleotide
$C_6H_{12}O_6$: simple sugar
