Complete the following paragraph to describe the categories of carbohydrates: Carbohydrates exist as either monomers or polymers; long chains of monomers bonded together. Single monomers are called monosaccharides and include molecules like glucose, which are typically used for immediate energy or to help build the backbone of nucleotides that make up RNA and DNA. Combinations of two monomers are called disaccharides and include molecules like maltose, which are typically metabolized into monosaccharides. Polysaccharides, which consist of more monomers, include groups of three starch and other molecules typically used for long-term storage and structural support.

4.) Carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids can be thought of as polymers. What is the monomeric unit of each type? For each of these three biomolecules give an example of the monomeric component, and an example of the polymeric form. For carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and triglycerides describe how they are hydrolyzed in the digestive tract. Identify the parts of the digestive tract in which the different biomolecules are hydrolyzed, and give one example of an enzyme that hydrolyzes each type of biomolecule.
