Monomers
1. Lipids (or fats)
2. Proteins
3. Carbohydrates
4. Nucleic acids
There are two basic building blocks to every glyceride molecule:
at least two fatty acid chains and a glycerol molecule.
For proteins, the basic subunits are amino acids([carbon] peptide chains with an amino group attached).
For carbohydrates (things like sugars and starch and alcohols), long chains of carbon monomers form the basic structure. Functional groups like the hydroxyl group or the carbonyl group are frequently attached to the polymer chain. All sugars must have at least one carbonyl group, for example.
Nucleic acids are built with nucleotides, an essential molecule in the DNA helix.
I think what the question was asking about was actual, practical macromolecules. Such as fatty acids/lipids = FATS, carbohydrates = SUGARS, amino acids = PROTEINS, nucleic acids = DNA, RNA. Those in CAPS are the real macromolecules. Some of your macromolecules are still the base units.
Monomers are the building blocks of polymers. Monomers are made up of hydrocarbons where on the two ends of the chain, there is one more electron needed, which allows the monomers to bond together to form a polymer. An example of this is when molecules with two functional groups each form long chains through the removal of water. This forms many esters in a chain, or polyester, which is a common manufactured fabric.
Monomers.
E.g., a starch is a polymer of glucose monomers.

No. Monomers are the building blocks of Polymers. When a Polymer is broken (by Hydrolysis) you get monomers or a monomer and a shorter ploymer.
Polymers are any number of compounds consisting of millions of repeating units. Monomers are related because they're the building blocks of a polymer.
They are in polysaccharides. Also called carbohydrates generally.
No, nucleotides ar e the building blocks for nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA. The building blocks for proteins are amino acids.
Monomers are the building blocks of polymers.
They are the amino acids. They are the building blocks
Building blocks
phospholipids
The monomers of DNA are nucleotides, which consist of the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
monosaccharides are the monomers for carbohydrates and amino acids are the monomers of proteins. I take gifted bio
No. Monomers are the building blocks of Polymers. When a Polymer is broken (by Hydrolysis) you get monomers or a monomer and a shorter ploymer.
The building blocks (called monomers) of nucleic acids are nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group.
Amino acids are the basic building blocks. I think the question that is supposed to be asked is "How are the basic building blocks in proteins separated?".Amino acids are the building blocks, monomers, of proteins, polymers. Any monomers in any nutrient are broken apart through hydrolysis reactions. In the process, a water molecule is split and an oxygen and a hydroxide "cap" the ends of the strand.
No. A biomolecule is many building blocks bonded together to form a polymer. The building blocks of any polymer are called monomers. The monomer of a carbohydrate is a monosaccharide, which forms the polymer polysaccharide.
Monosaccharides are monomers that make up carbohydrates. These are held together by covalent bonds or glycosidic linkages and store and transport energy.
