Macromolecule Review Assessment

This assessment covers the monomers of the four major biological macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Questions will test your knowledge of their names, elements, and basic structures. Choose the best answer for each question.

Lipids are made up of which two main types of monomers?

Which element is present in nucleic acids but not in carbohydrates or lipids?

Which of the following best describes the structure of a nucleotide?

Which of the following is NOT a correct monomer-macromolecule pairing?

Which macromolecule's monomer contains an amino group and an R group that varies between different types?

Which element makes macromolecules organic?

When monomers come together to form polymers, this is called:
