B)Nucleotide
C)Fatty acid
D)Amino acid

Question

Choose the monomer corresponding to the polymer stated.
 
-Triglyceride
A)Glucose
B)Nucleotide
C)Fatty acid
D)Amino acid

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Triglyceride is a polymer of three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule, so the monomer is a fatty acid. A is incorrect because glucose is the monomer for carbohydrates such as cellulose and glycogen. B is incorrect because nucleotides are the monomers for nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. D is incorrect because amino acids are the monomers for proteins.
