Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides, which are composed of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule (ribose or deoxyribose), and a phosphate group. Therefore, choice A (nucleotides) is the correct answer. Sugars and amino acids are the monomers of carbohydrates and proteins respectively. Nitrogenous bases are a component of nucleotides but not a monomer themselves.
