Name four macromolecules and their monomers?

Answer 1

Four (bio)macromolecules are: Carbohydrates (e.g. Glucose, cellulose and lactose), Lipids (e.g. Triglyceride, phospholipids) , Proteins (e.g. Insulin, keratin and all enzymes) and Nucleic Acids (e.g. DNA and RNA).

Monomers for:

1) Carbohydrates = Monosacharides

2) Lipids = Glycerol and Fatty Acids

3) Proteins = Amino Acids

4) Nucleic Acid = Nucleotide

Answer 2

Lipids : Glycerol , and fatty acids

Proteins : Amino acids

Carbohydrates : Monosaccharide

Nucleic Acids : Nucleotide

Answer 3

Protein: Amino Acids

Carbohydrate: Monosaccharide

Lipids: Triglyceride (three fatty acids and a glycerol)

Nucleic Acids: Nucleotide (which is sugar, phosphate, and a base)

Answer 4

Not every carbon compound is composed of monomers. Carbon based polymers come in too many different forms to list all their monomers.

A few well known polymers are composed of chains of these monomers:

• starches - simple sugars (e.g. glucose)
• celluloses - simple sugars (e.g. glucose)
• proteins - amino acids
• nucleic acids (e.g. DNA, RNA) - nucleotides
• polystyrene (i.e. PS) - styrene
• polyvinyl chloride (i.e. PVC) - vinyl chloride
• polypropylene (i.e. PP) - propylene
• polycarbonate - bisphenol A and diphenyl carbonate
• latex (i.e. polyisoprene) - isoprene
• polyethylene - ethylene
• poly-3-hydroxybutyrate - 3-hydroxybutyrate
• polyglycolic acid - glycolic acid
• teflon (i.e. polytetrafluoroethylene) - tetrafluoroethylene
• nylons - amides (e.g. amino acids, lactams, diacids, diamines)
• polyurethanes - urea
• bakelite - phenol and formaldehyde
• etc.

Answer 5

A monomer is a type of chubby penguin that lacks in sexual activity.

Answer 6

Glucides

Lipides

Nucleic Acids

Amino Acids

Answer 7

Monosaccharides for sugar. Amino acids for protein. Nucleotides for nucleic acid.

And lipid does not belong to the category of polymers.
