Question

Fill in the blanks below by pairing each of these macromolecules with its building block (the polymer with its monomer).

_____________ Starch
_____________ protein
_____________ nucleic acid
_____________ triglyceride

Answer 1

Macromolecules, which include starch, protein, nucleic acid, and triglyceride, are composed of monomers like glucose, amino acids, nucleotides, and fatty acids plus glycerol, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fill in the blanks below by pairing each macromolecule with its building block (the polymer with its monomer).

• Glucose — Starch
• Amino acids — Protein
• Nucleotides — Nucleic acid
• Fatty acids and glycerol — Triglyceride

Macromolecules are comprised of single units called monomers that are joined by covalent bonds to form larger polymers. Each class of macromolecule has a specific type of monomer. For instance, carbohydrates like starch are a polymer, whose monomers are glucose units linked together. Proteins are formed from amino acids, and nucleic acids like DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides. Lastly, lipids such as triglycerides are built from fatty acids and glycerol.

Answer 2

Carbohydrates

Amino acid

Nucleotide

lipid

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Starch is a polymer of Carbohydrates - polymeric carbohydrate having of large number of glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds to form starch. Starch is found in plants, and it is the stored form of fuel.

2. Amino acid are joined by peptide bonds and the polymeric form of amino acid is known as - protein. Proteins are synthesized according to the sequence of codons in mRNA

3. Nucleic acid: is synthesized by polymerization of nucleotide.

4. Triglyceride are polymer of lipids.
