Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Monomers are the molecules, which can join with other similar molecules to form very large molecules, or polymers.
  1. Triglycerides- Triglycerides are the monomers of  glycerol molecules and the glycerol molecules remain attached to three fatty acids
  2. Proteins- Amino acids joined by peptide bonds give rise to proteins.
  3. Nucleic acids- Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA are made up of nucleotides.
  4. Carbohydrates- Carbohydrates are the monomers of monosaccharides.
  5. Lipids- Lipids are the monomers of glycerol and fatty acids.
