Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which monomer is correctly paired with its corresponding polymer?
A
Nucleic Acid-Amino Acids
B
Polysaccaride-nucleotides
C
Lipids-fatty acids
D
Proteins-monosaccharides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The monomers for lipids are fatty acids. The monomers for carbohydrates are monosaccharides. The monomers for nucleic acids are nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-2: -The statement that shows a monomer that is correctly matched with its polymer is “An amino acid is a monomer of proteins.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids’ monomers are glycerol and fatty acids. The glycerol makes the backbone of a triglyceride, a common lipid polymer. Three fatty acids make the long fatty chains of triglyceride. Each polymer of lipids is similar in that they have the same basic structures of the monomers within.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Glycerol and fatty acids are described as the monomers of lipids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lipids-polymers called diglycerides, triglycerides; monomers are glycerol and fatty acids. Proteins-polymers are known as polypeptides; monomers are amino acids.
