Question

polymers & monomers:
match the following polymers to their corresponding monomers
nucleic acids
proteins
carbohydrates
lipids

a.) amino acids
b.) fatty acids
c.) nucleotides
d.) glucose

Explanation:

To solve the matching of polymers and their monomers:

• Nucleic Acids are polymers made of Nucleotides (so Nucleic Acids - c).
• Proteins are polymers made of Amino Acids (so Proteins - a).
• Carbohydrates (like polysaccharides) are made of Glucose (a monosaccharide, so Carbohydrates - d).
• Lipids (specifically fats) are made of Fatty Acids (along with glycerol, so Lipids - b).

Answer:

Nucleic Acids - c) Nucleotides
Proteins - a) Amino Acids
Carbohydrates - d) Glucose
Lipids - b) Fatty Acids
