4. Enzymes are example of proteins because enzymes are made up of many amino acids binded in a very specific and unique order and amino acid are building blocks of proteins.

5. Nucleic acid is the monomer consist of nucleotide as all nucleic acids are made up of same five pieces are uracil, guanine, thymine, cytosine, and adenine.

6. Lipids are considered as hydrophobic as it is composed of carbon and hydrogen and have mostly nonpolar carbon–hydrogen or carbon–carbon bonds.

7. Proteins are most complex macromolecules as they made up of  hundreds of amino acids and each amino acid has its own specific shape. All the properties of proteins depends on these specific amino acids

8. when some one look into mirror, they see their own image or phenotype characters which are due to the genetic makeup in the body. DNA is responsible for the phenotype and genotype where DNA is a nucleic acid. Hence, the , one will see while looking in the mirror is nucleic acid.
