A nucleic acid.
Fatty acids are composed of a hydrophilic carboxylic acid head and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, while basic units in other macromolecules (such as amino acids in proteins, nucleotides in DNA/RNA, and monosaccharides in carbohydrates) have different functional groups and structures specific to their roles in each macromolecule. The differences in functional groups and structure give these basic units unique properties and functions within their respective macromolecules.
Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)
Pa Levene discovered that DNA is composed of repeating units called nucleotides, which consist of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. This finding helped establish the basic structure of DNA and its role in genetic inheritance.
It is called a monomer. Monomers together form polymer.

nucleic acid.
This describes a nucleotide, which is the basic building block of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. Nucleotides consist of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
