Question

Choose all correctly matched polymers and bonds that link the monomers into the polymers:

A) Testosterone and phosphodiester
B) Lipid peptides
C) Immunoglobin peptides
D) Cellulose and glycostatic bonds

Answer 1

The correctly matched polymer and bond is cellulose with glycosidic bonds, where cellulose is a polymer of glucose monomers linked by these bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to choose all correctly matched polymers and bonds that link the monomers into the polymers. The correctly matched pair from the options given is:

• Cellulose and glycosidic bonds - Cellulose is a polymer made of glucose monomers linked together by glycosidic bonds.

Testosterone is not a polymer, it is a steroid hormone, hence it does not pair with phosphodiester bonds. Lipid peptides are not a standard term for polymers; the term may be mixing lipids (fats) and peptides (short chains of amino acids). Immunoglobins (corrected term: immunoglobulins) are proteins, so they are composed of amino acid monomers connected by peptide bonds, not immunoglobin peptides. Therefore, the correct matches are cellulose with glycosidic bonds.

For additional information, monosaccharides may link together to form polysaccharides by forming glycosidic bonds as a result of dehydration reactions. Proteins are polymers of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
