1 Monomer A small repeating unit that can make larger more complex molecules. What toy can you think of that is like a monomer?

2 Legos are like monomers because…

3 Legos can be used over to make different things.

4 Monomer A small repeating unit that can make larger more complex molecules. sugar Sugar is one type of monomer.

5 Polymer A large complex molecule made of monomers. sugar Starch is a polymer made from a bunch of sugar monomers.

6 Polymervs. Monomer__ Carbohydrate (starch) polysaccharide (sugar) monosaccharide Protein= Polypeptides(bonds) amino acids Nucleic Acids= Nucleic Acids Example;RNA & DNA Nucleotides Lipids Fatty Acids example;fats, oils, & waxes) YOU MUST MEMORIZE THIS!
