1 answer

The correct pairing of a macromolecule with its monomer is:

Carbohydrate - Monosaccharide

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

So, the correct response is Carbohydrate - Monosaccharide.
