Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these statements describes how monomers combine and create macromolecules?
A
amino acids combine to make proteins
B
glucose molecules combine to make nucleic acids
C
nucleic acids combine to make starch
D
proteins combine to make glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -D) Amino acids combine to make proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer. Explanation: Most macromolecules are made from single subunits, or building blocks, called monomers. The monomers combine with each other via covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Figure 11.4 Peptides and Proteins are macromolecules built from long chains of amino acids joined together through amide linkages. The identity and function of a peptide or a protein is determined by the primary sequence of amino acids within its structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. All proteins are made up of different arrangements of the same 20 amino acids.

Detailed explanation-5: -The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts. This type of reaction is known as dehydration synthesis, which means “to put together while losing water.”
