BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Think of a monomer as being a brick, and a polymer, or macromolecule, as being the whole brick wall composed of the building blocks. The brick wall is composed of smaller units (the bricks) just as a macromolecule is composed of monomer ‘building blocks.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most macromolecules are made from single subunits, or building blocks, called monomers. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dehydration Synthesis: Most macromolecules are made from single subunits called Monomers. The monomers combine using covalent bonds to form Polymers-larger molecules, releasing water molecules as byproducts. This reaction process involving the release or loss of water is called dehydration synthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monomers are the building blocks of the four basic macromolecules of life-monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates, amino acids are the monomers of proteins, glycerol/fatty acids are the monomers of lipids, and nucleotides are the monomers of DNA.
