Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -A macromolecule is a large molecule, or compound, which is made of multiple smaller molecules, called “subunits.” “Macro-” is a prefix that means “large.” There are four main types of biological macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monomers and polymers Most large biological molecules are polymers, long chains made up of repeating molecular subunits, or building blocks, called monomers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Biomacromolecules are large biological polymers, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates, that are made up of monomers linked together. For example, proteins are composed of monomers called amino acids.
