Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbohydrates

Monomer- monosaccharide

Polymer- polysaccharides

Fats

There is no monomer of fat, but dehydration synthesis bonds glycerol and fatty acid tails.

Nucleic Acids

Monomer- nucleotides: a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base

Polymer- nucleic acids
