Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or false:The building blocks of biomolecules are called polymers.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All of the biomolecules that make up our cells are made up of strings of monomers. For example, proteins are made up of strings of amino acids and nucleic acids are strings of nucleotides.. The term for a long string of monomers is a polymer. The biomolecules, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids are all polymers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polymers are molecules made from a large number of monomers joined together. Monosaccharides, amino acids and nucleotides are examples of monomers. A condensation reaction joins two molecules together with the formation of a chemical bond and involves the elimination of a molecule of water.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The building blocks that make up polymers are called monomers (MAH-nuh-murs). Thousands or even tens of thousands of monomers connect to form a polymer. In some polymers, all the monomers look the same.

Detailed explanation-5: -Which class does not consist of polymers? The four main classes of biological polymers are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Among these four biological molecules, lipids are not polymers.
