The monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides.

Of polysaccharides: monosaccharides.

Of polypeptides (the chains that make up proteins): amino acids.

Lipids are macromolecules, but are not polymers, so they do not have monomers.

Do monomers make up macromolecules?

If the macromolecule is a polymer, then yes it is made of monomers. There can be some irregular macromolecules that are not polymers and thus are not made of monomers, but they are special cases (e.g. carbon nanotubes with attached side groups).


What do proteins nucleic acids carbohydrates have in common?

These are three of the four major biological macromolecules. (The fourth are lipids.) Each of these macromolecules are polymers and are made up of smaller component parts called monomers.


Most macromolecules are made up of thousands of smaller molecules called?

Most macromolecules are made up of thousands of smaller molecules called monomers. These monomers are linked together through chemical reactions to form polymers, which are the large macromolecules found in living organisms.


What builds macromolecules up from monomers and releases water?

Dehydration synthesis.


Single unit makes up your macromolecules?

They are called monomers. They build up polymers


How are monomers related t o polymers?

Polymers are any number of compounds consisting of millions of repeating units. Monomers are related because they're the building blocks of a polymer.


What are Monomers of large macromolecules assembled during a chemical reaction called?

Monomers are the building blocks of large macromolecules, and when they are assembled together during a chemical reaction, they form polymers. Polymers are made up of repeating units of monomers linked together through covalent bonds.


Which of the four types of macromolecules units called monosaccharides?

They are type of monomers. They build up carbohydrates.


What do small organic molecules that are linked together make up?

Small organic molecules that are linked together make up macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. These macromolecules are essential for various biological processes in living organisms.


What do lipids and proteins have in common?

Proteins and lipids are both biological macromolecules, which means they are made up of monomers (indiviudal units) to form polymers (many units). They are both formed by dehydration synthesis and broken apart by hydrolysis. In addition, their monomers can both be used as alternate forms to carbohydrates in the metabiolic pathway of cellular respiration.


What group of macromolecules does cellulose belong to?

Cellulose belongs to the group of macromolecules known as carbohydrates. It is a polysaccharide made up of repeated glucose monomers linked together in long chains.


What are the monomers that make up fats?

The monomers that make up fats are called fatty acids.
