ANSWER GUIDE
●● Carbohydrates
Answer: molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; includes
sugars and starches. The monomer is monosaccarides.
●● Lipids
Answer: Energy-rich organic compounds, such as fats, oils, and waxes,
that are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The monomers are
glycerol and fatty acids.
●● Proteins
Answer: polymer composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds;
folds into a particular structure depending on bonds between amino
acids. Enzymes are made of this.
●● Nucleic Acids
Answer: DNA and RNA. Contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon,
and phosphorus. Carries genetic information. The monomer is
nucleotides.
