They are considered polymers. The monomers of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are nucleotides. Each nucleotide has a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.

Nucleic acids are made of what?

monomers,polymers=nucleotides


Are monomers made up of many polymer units?

No. Amino acid monomers are used to make protein polymers. Nucleotide monomers are used to make DNA polymers.


Is DNA a polymer of amino acids?

DNA consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, with backbones made of sugars and phosphate groups joined by ester bonds. These two strands run in opposite directions to each other and are therefore anti-parallel. Attached to each sugar is one of four types of molecules called nucleobases .

Long chain-like molecule made of repeating units?

Molecules consisting of chains of repeating units are called polymers. Polymers are made up of smaller molecules that join to form these larger molecules. Examples of polymers include starch and nylon.


What are small molecular units joined together in large molecules called?

Macromolecules.


How Both Nucleic Acids aNd Proteins And Polymers?

A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeated subunits called monomers. Nucleic acids are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. Protein is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids.


Is plastic a polymer?

Plastics are polymers but not necessarily the other way round. DNA and other biological molecules are polymers but they are not plastics.


What is an example of a monomer and polymer pair?

Monomers are the starting units for making Polymers. For eg: Polyethylene is synthesized by addition polymerisation technique to form Polyethylene. Many monomers join together to form a large macromolecule called as polymer.


Subunits that make up polymers?

It's the monomer, the unit that repeats itself along the polymer.


Is true about nucleic acids?

DNA carries information for making RNA.


Nucleotides are the monomers of?

If we put a comma in that sentence after DNA, the answer is yes, nucleotides are indeed the monomers of DNA. As written, the question makes no sense, since "DNA nucleotides" are not polymers and therefore do not have monomers.
