When small molecules called monomers join together, they form polymers, or large molecules.
Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information. The monomers that make up a nucleic acid are nucleotides. Each nucleotide has a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
Amino acids are the monomers of proteins. All amino acids have an amino group at one end and a carboxyl group at the other end.
Proteins help to carry out chemical reactions, transport small molecules in and out of cells, and fight diseases. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids folded into complex structures.
