2. The molecular structures shown below are representative of five major classes of building- block molecules (monomers) that make up macromolecules and membranes in cells. For the structure in the square, identify the name of the correct monomer.

It seems there is a reference to a visual structure that I am unable to see. However, I can help you identify some common monomers based on their general types:

  1. Amino acids: Building blocks of proteins.
  2. Nucleotides: Building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).
  3. Monosaccharides: Building blocks of carbohydrates (e.g., glucose).
  4. Fatty acids: Building blocks of lipids.
  5. Glycerol: Also a component of lipids, especially triglycerides.

If you can describe the structure in the square (such as its shape, functional groups, or any specific features), I could help you identify the correct monomer more accurately!
