1 answer

The correct pairing of a macromolecule with its monomer is:

Carbohydrate - Monosaccharide

The other pairings are incorrect:

  • Lipids are not made of amino acids; they are primarily made of fatty acids and glycerol.
  • Proteins are made of amino acids, not nucleotides.
  • Nucleic acids are made of nucleotides, not fatty acids.

So the right answer is Carbohydrate - Monosaccharide.
