|
|
lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are examples
|
|
|
all of the answer choices are true
|
|
|
they are polymers built from monomers
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids are the four major classes of biological macromolecules-large molecules necessary for life that are built from smaller organic molecules. Macromolecules are made up of single units known as monomers that are joined by covalent bonds to form larger polymers.
Detailed explanation-2: -11.1 Introduction: The Four Major Macromolecules These are the carbohydrates, lipids (or fats), proteins, and nucleic acids. All of the major macromolecule classes are similar, in that, they are large polymers that are assembled from small repeating monomer subunits.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Sucrose is not a macromolecule.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids are found as long polymers. Due to their polymeric nature and large size, they are known as macromolecules.
