Question

37. Which of the following shows the correct relationship between monomers and polymers?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is the second option - glycerol and fatty acids combine to form lipids.

Explanation:

Lipids are a polymer or macromolecule, and the smaller pieces, or monomers, that make up lipids are glycerol and fatty acids.

Option 1 is incorrect because nucleotides are the monomer for nucleic acids, not proteins.

Option 3 is incorrect because amino acids combine to form proteins, not nucleic acids.

Option 4 is incorrect because polysaccharides are polymers (the monomer for carbohydrates is monosaccharides).

Hope this helps!
