  • What are the monomers of proteins?
    The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
  • What is the relationship between monomers and polymers?
    Monomers are individual building blocks that link together to form polymers, which are long chains of these monomers.
  • What are the building blocks of macromolecules?
    The building blocks of macromolecules are monomers: monosaccharides for carbohydrates, amino acids for proteins, and nucleotides for nucleic acids.
  • What is the monomer of protein?
    The monomer of protein is an amino acid.
  • What are the monomers for proteins?
    The monomers for proteins are amino acids.
  • What is the monomer for a protein?
    The monomer for a protein is an amino acid.
  • What are the monomers or building blocks of proteins?
    The monomers or building blocks of proteins are amino acids.
  • What is the monomer of a protein called?
    The monomer of a protein is called an amino acid.
  • What is the monomer (building block) of a protein?
    The monomer (building block) of a protein is an amino acid.
  • What are the monomers found in proteins?
    The monomers found in proteins are amino acids.
  • What are the monomers of proteins called?
    The monomers of proteins are called amino acids.
  • What monomer makes up proteins?
    Amino acids make up proteins.
  • What is the monomer for protein?
    The monomer for protein is an amino acid.
  • What are the monomers of a protein?
    The monomers of a protein are amino acids.
  • What are the monomers of protein?
    The monomers of protein are amino acids.
  • What is a monomer of a protein?
    A monomer of a protein is an amino acid.
  • What monomers make up proteins?
    Amino acids make up proteins.
  • What are the monomers that make up proteins?
    The monomers that make up proteins are amino acids.
  • What are the monomer of proteins?
    The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
  • Which of the following molecules act as building blocks (monomers) of polypeptides? A) Monosaccharides B) Amino acids C) Nucleotides D) Fatty acids
    B) Amino acids
  • What are the building blocks or monomers of proteins?
    The building blocks or monomers of proteins are amino acids.
  • What are the monomers (building blocks) of protein?
    The monomers (building blocks) of protein are amino acids.
  • Which of the following is the monomer of proteins? A) Monosaccharides B) Amino acids C) Nucleotides D) Fatty acids
    B) Amino acids
  • What are monomers of proteins?
    Monomers of proteins are amino acids.
  • What is the smallest unit of a macromolecule?
    The smallest unit of a macromolecule is a monomer.
  • Which monomers make up proteins?
    Amino acids make up proteins.
  • If several of these monomers were linked together, what would they form?
    If several amino acids were linked together, they would form a polypeptide or protein.
  • What are the basic building blocks (monomers) of proteins?
    The basic building blocks (monomers) of proteins are amino acids.
  • What is a monomer in the context of biological macromolecules?
    A monomer is a single, individual building block that can be repetitively linked together to form a polymer.
  • Which types of biological macromolecules use consistent monomers, and what are those monomers?
    Carbohydrates use monosaccharides, proteins use amino acids, and nucleic acids use nucleotides as their consistent monomers.
  • What is dehydration synthesis and what role does it play in polymer formation?
    Dehydration synthesis is a reaction that forms covalent bonds between monomers, releasing water and building polymers.
  • Describe the process that occurs when two monomers are joined together to form a polymer.
    When two monomers join, a dehydration synthesis reaction occurs, removing a water molecule and forming a covalent bond between them.
  • Explain the significance of the prefixes 'mono-' and 'poly-' in the terms monomer and polymer.
    'Mono-' means one or single, referring to individual building blocks, while 'poly-' means many, referring to chains of monomers.
  • How are monosaccharides related to carbohydrates?
    Monosaccharides are the monomers that link together to form carbohydrate polymers.
