Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

The term "monomer" is generally reserved (as the text seems to delineate)for synthetic polymer building blocks, and are not substances ordinarily found in living systems (styrene, chloroprene, etc.). The term "monosaccharide" refers to naturally occurring simple sugars, from which starches and celluloses are made by living organisms.

Only 10 different amino acids are needed to build every type of protein molecule found in humans.
