vocabulary
match each term with its appropriate definition.

1. monomer
2. polymer
3. carbohydrate
4. fatty acid
5. protein
6. amino acid
7. lipid
8. nucleotide
9. nucleic acid
10. peptide bond

Explanation:

1. A monomer is a smaller building - block subunit, so 1 matches b.
2. A polymer is made of monomers, so 2 matches c.
3. Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and can be simple (sugars) or complex, but they are a type of molecule, so 3 has no full - match here.
4. Fatty acids are components of lipids, so 4 has no full - match here.
5. Proteins are polymers made of amino acids, so 5 matches i.
6. Amino acids are the monomers of proteins, so 6 matches b.
7. Lipids include fats, oils, and waxes, so 7 has no full - match here.
8. A nucleotide is a monomer of nucleic acids, so 8 matches b.
9. Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides, so 9 matches c.
10. A peptide bond is the bond between amino acids in a protein, so 10 matches a.

Answer:

1. b
2. c
3. No full - match
4. No full - match
5. i
6. b
7. No full - match
