Question

Responses

Amino acids combine to make proteins.

Amino acids combine to make proteins.

Glucose molecules combine to make nucleic acids.

Glucose molecules combine to make nucleic acids.

Nucleic acids combine to make starch.

Nucleic acids combine to make starch.

Proteins combine to make glucose.

Proteins combine to make glucose.

Answer 1

The accurate statement describing how monomers combine to create macromolecules is:

Amino acids combine to make proteins.

The other statements are incorrect:

• Glucose molecules do not combine to make nucleic acids; nucleic acids are made of nucleotide monomers.
• Nucleic acids do not combine to make starch; starch is a polymer made of glucose monomers.
• Proteins do not combine to make glucose; glucose is a simple sugar and does not result from the combination of proteins.

So, the correct response is "Amino acids combine to make proteins."
