Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Most large biological molecules are polymers, long chains made up of repeating molecular subunits, or building blocks, called monomers. If you think of a monomer as being like a bead, then you can think of a polymer as being like a necklace, a series of beads strung together.
Detailed explanation-2: -Page 11. Nucleotides are monomers that join together to form the structural units of RNA and DNA, as well as providing an energy source in metabolism. Nucleotides are composed of a nucleobase, a. five-carbon sugar (either ribose or. deoxyribose), and one to three phosphate.
Detailed explanation-3: -a protein is a long molecule composed of repeating subunits called amino acids.
