Explanation:
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: -The remaining categories of biological macromolecules include proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides. The building blocks of these, respectively, are amino acids, nucleotides, and monosaccharides (sugars).
Detailed explanation-3: -The building blocks of simple lipids glycerol and fatty acids, the glycerol acts as a backbone while the fatty acids attach to the glycerol to create a lipid molecule.
