Name the 4 main organic molecules?
Lipids: Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen - monomers are glycerol and fatty acids Proteins - Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen - monomers are amino acids Carbs - No Phosphate. Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen - H:O ratio is 2:1 - monomers are monosaccharides (may have a ring structure) Nucleic Acides - examples are dna and rna. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphate - monomers are nucleotides (sugar, phosphate, nitrogen base)
When monomers are linked they form molecules called?
DNA is made of small units called nucleotides. One nucleotide generally contains a phosphate group, a sugar (Deoxyribose), and nitrogen bases (Purines:Adenine, Guanine; and Pyrimidines: Cytosine, and Thymine)
Which is smaller polymers or monomers?
Monomers.
What are the names of the four different variations of these monomers?
The four different types of monomers consist of: 1. Proteins 2. Carbohydrates 3. lipids 4. nucleic acids
Do proteins lipids carbs and nucleic acids have monomers?
Yes, proteins have monomers called amino acids, lipids do not have monomers, carbohydrates have monomers called monosaccharides, and nucleic acids have monomers called nucleotides.
