GPT 3.5
The four biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
1. Carbohydrates:
- Monomer: Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose, fructose)
- Polymer: Polysaccharides (e.g. starch, cellulose)
2. Lipids:
- Monomer: Fatty acids and glycerol
- Polymer: No true polymers, but lipids can form aggregates like triglycerides and phospholipids
3. Proteins:
- Monomer: Amino acids (20 different types)
- Polymer: Polypeptides (formed by the linkage of amino acids)
4. Nucleic Acids:
- Monomer: Nucleotides (consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base)
- Polymer: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) which are made up of nucleotide chains.
