Question

8. Comparing the three classes of organic polymers Aa Aa can exist as free monomers (small molecules) or, it the monomers are covalently linked together as polymers (macromolecules). The following diagram shows organic molecules. Only N atoms (not the many C, H, and O atoms) are shown. the monomers and polymers of three major types of Complete the three blue labels within the image and compare the molecules by completing the three the image blanks following 0 Monomer Polymer Polysaccharide Monomers Differ by Monomers Differ by Monomers Differ by Given the same number of monomers and knowing the diversity of monomers for each type of organic molecule, you would expect the most diversity in which of the following polymers? (Note: For this question, assume the polysaccharide is not branched.) O Polysaccharide O Nucleic Acid

Explanation / Answer

Nucleotide (DNA/RNA) backbone. The monomers are nucleotides, which are the building blocks of a DNA/RNA strand.

Polypeptide. The blue chain represents the protein backbone or scientifically, it's the primary structure of the protein. Amino Acids monomers join together to form a poly peptide chain.
