To match the monomer and polymer, we need to understand the definition of each term. A monomer is a small molecule that can bond chemically to other monomers to form a larger molecule called a polymer. A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeating subunits called monomers.
Now, let's match the monomers and polymers mentioned in the question:
1. Amino Acids:
Monomer - Amino Acids
Polymer - Proteins
2. Monosaccharide:
Monomer - Monosaccharide
Polymer - Carbohydrates
3. Nucleotides:
Monomer - Nucleotides
Polymer - Nucleic Acids
4. Fatty Acid Tails:
Monomer - Fatty Acid Tails
Polymer - Lipids
Based on this information, the matching monomer and polymer are as follows:
Amino Acids - Proteins
Monosaccharide - Carbohydrates
Nucleotides - Nucleic Acids
Fatty Acid Tails - Lipids
