Which is NOT a polymer of nucleotides?
A
DNA
B
tRNA
C
mRNA
D
ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, the structure that is not a polymer is a) glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA and RNA molecules are polymers made up of long chains of nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the correct option is B i.e. Glucose is not a polymer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Four major types of macromolecules-proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids-play these important roles in the life of a cell. In terms of overall structure, all macromolecules except the lipids are considered polymers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nucleic acids are long chains of monomers (nucleotides) that function as storage molecules in a cell. Nucleotides are composed of sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. ATP, DNA and RNA are all examples of nucleic acids.
