Step 1
Monosaccharide: A monosaccharide is a simple sugar molecule, such as glucose or fructose. They are the building blocks of carbohydrates. In the given molecules, we can identify the following monosaccharide: **\text{CH}_2\text{OH} - \text{CHOH} - \text{CHOH} - Show more…

The molecular structures shown below are representative of five major classes of building- block molecules (monomers) that make up macromolecules and membranes in cells. For the structure inside the square, identify the name of the correct monomer: fatty acid amino acid nucleotide phospholipid monosaccharide

6. What are the four major categories of biological macromolecules? For each category of macromolecule - what are the building blocks and what are the bonds that join the building blocks together called? If given a specific macromolecule, be able to identify the category to which it belongs Fill out the following table to help: Biological macromolecule | Polymer form | Monomer form (building block) | Type of Bond | Example(s) Not all columns will be filled in for each type of biological macromolecule.
