Answer to Problem 90A
Monomers which make up proteins are amino acids.
Monosaccharides are the building blocks of complex carbohydrates.
Nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids.
Explanation of Solution
Proteins are polymeric
Thus, monomers which make up proteins are amino acids.
A biological molecule which consists of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is known as carbohydrate. The general formula of carbohydrate is
Monosaccharides known as simple sugar are the monomers which results in the formation of complex carbohydrates such as glucose (monomer).
Thus, monosaccharides are the building blocks of complex carbohydrates.
Organic molecules which consist of a nucleoside and a phosphate group are known as
Thus, nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids.
