Question

match each monomer with its polymer monosaccharide choose polysaccharide fat protein nucleic acid amino acid choose triglyceride choose nucleotide choose

Explanation:

• Monosaccharides are the monomers of polysaccharides (e.g., glucose monomers form starch, a polysaccharide).
• Amino acids are the monomers that link together to form proteins.
• Triglycerides are a type of fat, and fats are formed from glycerol and fatty acids, but triglycerides themselves are a form of fat (or lipid).
• Nucleotides are the monomers that make up nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).

Answer:

• monosaccharide: polysaccharide
• amino acid: protein
• triglyceride: fat
• nucleotide: nucleic acid
