Which of the following would most likely qualify as a organic macromolecule and polymer? a amino acids b nucleic acids c water d monosaccharides

Answer 1

The options that would most likely qualify as an organic macromolecule and polymer are:

b) nucleic acids

Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are organic macromolecules made up of long chains of nucleotides, which makes them polymers.

While amino acids (option a) are important organic molecules that serve as monomers for proteins, they are not polymers themselves. Monosaccharides (option d) are the building blocks of carbohydrates, which can form polymers like starch or cellulose, but monosaccharides in isolation are not considered polymers. Water (option c) is not an organic macromolecule.

So, the best answer is b) nucleic acids.
