1.	Biomolecules are formed by certain specic linkages between simple monomeric units. Write the names of linkages and monomeric units in the following class of biomolecules. i) Starch ii) Protein iii) Nucleic acid
Answer» i) Starch – Monomer: α – D – (+) – Glucose Linkage: Glycosidic linkage ii) Protein – Monomer: α – amino acids Linkage: Peptide linkage or Peptide bond iii) Nucleic acid – Monomer: Nucleotide Linkage: Phosphodiesterlinkage

Biomolecules are formed by certain specic linkages between simple monomeric units. Write the names of linkages and monomeric units in the following class of biomolecules. i) Starch ii) Protein iii) Nucleic acid

Answer»

i) Starch – Monomer: α – D – (+) – Glucose

Linkage: Glycosidic linkage

ii) Protein – Monomer: α – amino acids

Linkage: Peptide linkage or Peptide bond

iii) Nucleic acid – Monomer: Nucleotide

Linkage: Phosphodiesterlinkage
