We are consuming a lot of polymers in our foods and only some monomers. The polymers we ingest must be converted into monomers before being
absorbed, with a few exceptions that we won't discuss.
Amylase
fatty acid
nucleotide
amino acid
ribonuclease
peptide
polysaccharide
triglyceride
trypsin
monosaccharide
RNA
