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

Answer:

Carbohydrates  

Amino acid

Nucleotide

lipid

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.
