Amino acids are the monomer subunits that polymerize to form which class of biological macromolecules?
A
Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)
B
Polysaccharides (carbohydrates)
C
Triglycerides (lipids)
D
Proteins (polypeptides)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that amino acids are the building blocks (monomers) that link together to form larger biological macromolecules.
Recall the four major classes of biological macromolecules: nucleic acids, polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins.
Recognize that nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides, polysaccharides are polymers of sugars, and triglycerides are composed of glycerol and fatty acids, not amino acids.
Identify that proteins (also called polypeptides) are polymers formed by the polymerization of amino acids through peptide bonds.
Conclude that amino acids polymerize to form proteins, making proteins the correct class of biological macromolecules formed from amino acids.
