Polymer: 1 - Cellulose

               3 - Nucleic acids

Example: 1 - Carbohydrates

               2 -  Collagen

Function 1: Carbohydrates are a source of energy in the body.

Function 2: Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It's a long, fibrous structural protein that supports tissues and gives structure to individual cells. Collagen fibers are tough and found in bundles. They providing tensile strength to the tissues containing them.

Function 3: DNA is a protein structure that carries instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. It is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things, its main role is the long-term storage of information

Explanation:

Monomers are single molecules that can bond with identical molecules to form polymers.

1. Glucose can combine with other glucose molecules to form starch or cellulose which results in formation of carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are a source of energy in the body.

2. Amino acids can combine with other amino acids to form a protein chain which results in formation of collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It's a long, fibrous structural protein that supports tissues and gives structure to individual cells. Collagen fibers are tough and found in bundles. They providing tensile strength to the tissues containing them.

3. Nucleotides can combine to form nucleic acids resulting in formation of enzymes.

1. amino acid refers to the fundamental building block of proteins, comprising of an amino group and a carboxyl group.

2. catalyst refers to any substance, which increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction.

3. a complex molecule containing he genetic code is dna or deoxyribonucleic acid.

4. an enzyme refers to a molecule of protein, which is unique in accelerating up a particular chemical reaction in the biological systems.

5. nucleic acid refers to an sequence of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous bases, for example, dna and rna.

6. a protein refers to a large, composite organic molecule comprising of a huge number of amino acids associated together with the of peptide bonds.

7. rna refers to a nucleic acid that takes part in the production of proteins.

8. substrate refers to a compound, which takes part in a chemical reaction, and is chemically modified by the reaction.
