Detailed explanation-1: -Most macromolecules are made from single subunits, or building blocks, called monomers. The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Monomers are building blocks of bigger molecules, kind of like the individual box cars that make up a train. The monomer building blocks of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are the most simple units of carbohydrates, and include: glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Think of a monomer as being a brick, and a polymer, or macromolecule, as being the whole brick wall composed of the building blocks. The brick wall is composed of smaller units (the bricks) just as a macromolecule is composed of monomer ‘building blocks.
Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins are a class of macromolecules that can perform a diverse range of functions for the cell. They help in metabolism by providing structural support and by acting as enzymes, carriers or as hormones. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.
