Which pairing of a biological polymer with its correct monomer building block is accurate?
A.Glycogen and monosaccharides
B.Triglycerides and nucleotides
C.Polypeptides and glycerol molecules
D.DNA and amino acids
Explanation
Core Concept
Glycogen is a branched storage polysaccharide assembled entirely from glucose, a monosaccharide, connected by alpha glycosidic linkages. Matching polymers to monomers is core macromolecule logic: polypeptides are chains of amino acids, nucleic acids are chains of nucleotides, and triglycerides are not true polymers but esters joining glycerol with three fatty acids. Knowing the pairings predicts what digestion releases from each polymer.
Correct Answer
AGlycogen and monosaccharides
