Macromolecules are typically formed by repetitively adding small monomers together.Which macromolecule is properly matched with the appropriate monomer?
A) polypeptide-amino acid
B) nucleic acid-amino acid
C) polysaccharide-nucleotide
D) triglyceride-cholesterol

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polypeptides are formed by linking amino acids together through peptide bonds. Therefore, the appropriate monomer for a polypeptide is an amino acid. Nucleic acids, on the other hand, are made up of nucleotides, polysaccharides are made up of monosaccharides, and triglycerides are made up of glycerol and fatty acids, making options B, C, and D incorrect.
