Question

What biological macromolecule is made up of monomers like the one shown below?
Fat

Carbohydrate

Protein


Nucleic acid

Answer 1

That Is The Diagram Thing !

Answer 2

Monomers are made up of small molecules which join together to make polymers...

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

So What Does This Mean ?

Answer 5

It means that it is a protien. DO you understand why?

Answer 6

Because The Others Don't Have monomers?

Answer 7

Well kind of.

Answer 8

Okay..... So Then Can You Explain It Better ?

Answer 9

Lipids are macromolecules, but are not polymers, so they do not have monomers. A monomer is a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer. A polymer is a substance that has a molecular structure built up chiefly or completely from a large number of similar units bonded together.

Answer 10

Oh Okay Thank You ! (: You Are A BIG Help !

Answer 11

No problem, and also to add A lipid is any of a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.

Answer 12

The molecule shown in the diagram is a sugar so I think the polymer is a carbohydrate. Polysaccharide is another way of putting it.

Answer 13

Thank You !

Answer 14

Thats true, but it is asking for the biological macromolecule that is made up of monomers

Answer 15

Mhmmmm .

Answer 16

@britneyspears hey when you get time I need help with this question.
