Question
which two types of organic polymers are made from the same type of monomer? starches and cellulose dna and proteins fatty acids and nucleic acids proteins and cellulose which of the following is not one of the functions of lipids? forming the exoskeletons of insects forming waxy leaf coverings storing energy in fat cells forming cell membranes
Brief Explanations
- Starch and cellulose are both polysaccharides made from glucose monomers. DNA is made of nucleotides, proteins of amino - acids, fatty acids are part of lipids and not related to nucleic acids in monomer - polymer sense, and proteins and cellulose have different monomers.
- The exoskeleton of insects is made of chitin (a polysaccharide), not lipids. Lipids form waxy leaf coverings, store energy in fat cells, and are part of cell membranes.
