Amino acids
nucleotides
No. Amino acids are monomers of proteins and nucleic acids is a macromolecule.
nucleotide
Nucleic acids are polymers. They are made of monomers Nucleotides.
dehydration synthesis
Both are made from smaller subunits that are joined by covalent bonds. In the case of proteins, these subunits are called amino acids. They are joined by special covalent bonds called peptide bonds. In the case of nucleic acids, the subunits are called nucleotides, which are a combination of a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), phosphate group, and one of four possible bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine). The nucleotides are covalently bonded along the "ladder" of the DNA molecule. Another feature of polymers is that the covalent bond that links the subunits (or monomers) is formed by dehydration synthesis, that is, a removal of a water molecule.
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.
The subunits making up nucleic acids are nucleotides
Nucleic acids are composed of monomers called nucleotides.
Nucleotides
carbohydrates dna subunits are nucleic acids. Nucleic acid subunits are nucleotides.
Molecules that are synthesised from multiple subunits are known as polymers. The subunits are known as monomers. An example of a polymer is a protein, which is made up of amino acid subunits (monomers). A large organic molecule, usually created by polymerisation of monomers is known as a macromolecule. This includes nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates.
