Detailed explanation-1: -Most macromolecules are polymers, which are long chains of subunits called monomers. These subunits are often very similar to each other, and for all the diversity of polymers (and living things in general) there are only about 40-50 common monomers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Four Macromolecules. All life is composed mainly of the four macromolecule building blocks: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein Parts Just like a Lego house is made of bricks, proteins are made up of lots of tiny building blocks. These building blocks are called amino acids. To build a protein, first the amino acids are connected into long chains. These chains of amino acid building blocks can then fold into all types of shapes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The subunit that serves as the building block of a polymer is known as an amino acid.
