Question
the diagram depicts a large molecule being made from smaller subunits. which term best describes the large molecule? options: glucose, a macromolecule, a monomer, a polymer
The diagram shows a large molecule (polymer) being formed from smaller subunits (monomers). A polymer is a large molecule made of repeating monomer units. Glucose is a specific monosaccharide (monomer), and a macromolecule is a broad term for large molecules (which polymers are, but the large molecule here is a polymer formed from monomers). So the large molecule is a polymer.
