Proteins have which type of monomers?

Question

Knowing this, how do you match these macromolecules to their monomers:

1. _____Carbohydrates
2.______ Protein
3.______lipids
4.______nucleic acids

a. amino acids
b. fatty acids and glycerol
c. nucleotides
d. sugar

CSN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF EACH SO THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND? THANKS!!

Answer 1

Carbs- sugar
Protein- Amino Acids
Lipids-fatty acids
Nucleic Acid- nucleotides

carbs----bread, chew it for awhile, it'll get sweet.
protein----meat, and translation in the genetic code from codons to proteins
lipids----junk food, essential to our diet. also in cell membranes, known as lipid bilayer to help with permeability
nucleic acids---make up DNA

Answer 2

Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, and Nucleic Acids are all polymers (many monomers) put together by dehydration/condensation reactions (removal of a water molecule in most cases).

1. A carbohydrate is a macromolecule composed of many sugar (monosaccharides) monomers. An example of this may be maltose which is a disaccharide composed of two glucose momomers.

2. Proteins are the macromolecules composed of amino acid monomers.

3. Lipids are composed of triglycerides, in the case of fats. Theses fats are composed of a glycerol and 3 fatty acids.

4. Nucleic acids are the macromolecules composed of nucleotide polymers. These nucleotides are composed of a pentose (5 carbon sugar), phosphate and a nitrogenous base.

Answer 3

1. Carbohydrates
sugar
2. Protein
amino acids
3. Lipids
fatty acids and glycerol
4. Nucleic Acids
nucleotides

All of these bio molecules are made up of smaller building blocks. Our bodies build things out of what we eat.
When we eat bread, the starch in the bread is made out of "complex carbohydrates." These are "simple sugars" joined up into chains to become starch. Take simple pieces, join them together, and they become complex. Simple sugar is table sugar, complex carbohydrates are starches. We eat the bread and our bodies break the starch (complex) down in digestion into sugars (simple) and we use those sugars for energy!
Protein has similar small building blocks. These small building blocks are amino acids, and they are also joined together in chains. Just like sugar, we eat these chains of amino acids as a steak or any piece of meat. Then our bodies break down the protien into its components, the amino acids, so we can build up our own bodies.
Lipids, also known as fats, are no different than the other molecules. When we eat fat, it is broken down into its components which are fatty acids and glycerol. Then we can use the pieces to make our own fats.
Nucleic acids are a little different in that you can't really digest them like the others, but just know that nucleic acids are made out of nucleotides (amongst other things.)
Unless you want to study biochem, this simple rundown is plenty.
These examples show how life is a big circle. The molecules are constantly being transferred around on planet earth. We are what we eat. Since we are the top of the food chain, most of the time the cycle ends with us! (Most of the time!)

Answer 4

1. monosaccharides or sugars Some of these
2. amino acids
3. fatty acids and glycerol
4. nucleic acids

Some carbohydrates are cellulose, starch, and glycogen. Some monosaccharides are Glucose, and fructose.

Some proteins are enzymes and and transport proteins. I don't know the names of any amino acids, but there are 20 of them.

The four main groups of lipids are fats, phospholipds, waxes, and sterols.

Some nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. Some nucleotides are adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil.

Answer 5

1. Carbohydrates - d. sugar
2. Protein- a. amino acids
3. Lipids- b. fatty acids and glycerol
4. Nucleic acids- c. nucleotides

That's for sure, I have an exam on this coming up
Hope that helps!

Answer 6

1- Sugar
2- Amino Acid
3- fatty acids and glycerol
4- nucleotides

Answer 7

Knowing what is confusing in this context... The only monomeric subsidiaries in the a-d list are a. amino acids which oligomerize to form proteins (2.) and nucleotides with oligomerize to form nucleic acids.

The rest is nonsense.

Answer 8

1. d.
2. a.
3. b.
4. c.

Answer 9

1. __d.__Carbohydrates
2.__a.___ Protein
3.__b.__lipids
4.__c.__nucleic acids

An example of an amino acid is glycine
An example of a fatty acid is cooking oil
An example of a nucleotide is adenine
An example of a sugar is glucose
