Question

multiple choice question
the molecule illustrated here is a(n) ____ that can be incorporated into a larger molecule called a ____
o nucleotide, nucleic acid
o monosaccharide, carbohydrate
o fatty acid, lipid
o amino acid, protein

Explanation:

Small molecules like nucleotides, monosaccharides, fatty - acids, and amino - acids are monomers. Nucleotides make up nucleic acids, monosaccharides make up carbohydrates, fatty acids are part of lipids, and amino acids make up proteins. The general concept is that monomers can be incorporated into polymers.

Answer:

All options are correct as they all represent a monomer - polymer relationship (nucleotide - nucleic acid, monosaccharide - carbohydrate, fatty acid - lipid, amino acid - protein).
