What are other names for Dna monomers?

For the Dna [sugar-phosphate] backbone there are two types of monomers - the ribose [5 carbon] sugar and the [PO4 minus] phosphate moiety. The Four Handshake Bases that form 'the rungs of the Dna Ladder' are the nucleotide base monomers. Their Names are the pairs Adenine with Guanine and the pairs Cytosine with Thymine.

How are enzyme usually named?

Individual enzymes are named by adding the suffix "-ase" to the name of the substrate with which the enzyme reacts. An example of this method is the enzyme amylase, which controls the breakdown of amylose (starch). There are categories of enzymes that control certain reactions. Hydrolases control hydrolytic reactions; proteinases control protein breakdown; synthetases control synthesis reactions. There are exceptions: trypsin and pepsin, both digestive enzymes that breakdown protein, retain the names used before the modern form of nomenclature was adopted.Read more: how-are-enzymes-named

Explain why the terms synthesis and decomposition are appropriate names for their respective reaction types?

Decomposition: Takes the composition of an organism when it dies and breaks it down to tiny particles of simple matter usually becoming a nutrient in the soil. Synthesis: Is combining two or more simple elements that work together to form something new.
