Explanation / Answer

1. The four most important group of organic macromolecules found in living organisms are nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.

2. The monomers of proteins are amino acids.

The monomers of fats are fatty acids and glycerol.

The monomers of carbohydrates are monosaccharides

The monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides

4. Two monosaccharides join together to form a disaccharide.
