It depends on the context. Colloquially, proteins and carbohydrates mean the polymers (polypeptides and polysaccharides) because there is no need to address the monomers - we eat the polymers. However, while studying Biochemistry, it is not sufficient to say just protein or carbohydrate. You would need to specify if your talking about a monomer or a polymer and what type.

What group of polymers are contained by all living organisms?
Amino-acid based polymers such as proteins.
Polymers of amino acids are?
Polymers of amino acids are proteins.
Polymers of carbohydrates fats and proteins are all synthesized from monomers by which process?
the removal of water (dehydration reactions)
What is a biological compound?

What are the four classes of macromolecules and their importance?
CARBOHYDRATES- polymers of sugars LIPIDS- polymers of fatty acids PROTEINS- polymers of amino acids NUCLEIC ACIDS- polymers of nucleotides
Are carbohydrates proteins and DNA all polymers?
polymers are a type of carbohydrate, but DNA is a type of nucleic acid and polypeptides are proteins
What four polymers are digested in the small intestine?
Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids
What are four polymers?

Do lipids form long chain polymers like carbohydrates and proteins?
Lipids do not form polymers.
Name 4 polymers that are digested in the small intestine?
proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids.
What are some macromolocules?
Macromolecules are polymers. There are bio-polymers such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and DNA, and there are synthetic polymers such as plastics (polystyrene and polyvinylchloride) and synthetic fibres. Nylon and terylene are also considered macromolecules.
