Question

Match the following polymers with their possible monomers

Answer 1

• The monomers of DNA are called nucleotide. They are made up of a 5-carbon sugar(deoxyribose), a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base bound to the sugar
• The monomer of protein polymer is an amino acid. Methionine is a dietary essential amino acid that plays unique roles, both in protein structure and in metabolism. Methionine serves as the initiating amino acid in eukaryotic protein synthesis.
• The monomer of polysaccharides is monosaccharides. Glucose is a monomer of many polysaccharides like cellulose, glycogen, starch.
