Which of the following is a correct pairing of a macromolecule with its monomer? (1 point) Carbohydrate - Monosaccharide Lipid - Amino acid Protein - Nucleotide Nucleic acid - Fatty acid

1 answer

The correct pairing of a macromolecule with its monomer is Carbohydrate - Monosaccharide.

  • Carbohydrates are made up of monosaccharides (e.g., glucose).
  • Lipids are made up of fatty acids and glycerol, not amino acids.
  • Proteins are made up of amino acids, not nucleotides.
  • Nucleic acids (such as DNA and RNA) are made up of nucleotides, not fatty acids.

So, the only correct pairing from your options is Carbohydrate - Monosaccharide.
