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: -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-4: -These amino acids are connected by a chemical bond called a peptide bond.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
