Lipids are made of glycerol and fatty acids.
Proteins are made of amino acids.
Starches are made of monosaccharides. (Starches ARE polysaccharides, but the monomer is a monosaccharide.)

You left out the fourth kind of organic compound - nucleic acids are made of nucleotides.

Proteins: amino acids
Starches: glucose (or, more generally, sugars)

There are several kinds of lipids, so it's hard to know what they are looking for exactly. My guess is that they're talking about triglycerides, in which case the monomers are fatty acids.

ok i think your talking about how they combine in the DNA strand so this is how it goes... A-T C-G those combine with each other, A goes with T and C goes with G lipids are fats, proteins are energy for the body, straches are sugars that are obsorbed by glucose, thats all I can tell you so far with the info you gave me.
