An ester bond is formed between which monomers:

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which monomers form an ester bond.
Option 1: amino acids — these form peptide bonds (amide bonds) during protein formation, not ester bonds, so this is not correct.
Option 2: nucleotides — these are linked by phosphodiester bonds in nucleic acids, which are also not esters, so this is not correct.
Option 3: fatty acids and glycerol — in triglycerides and many lipids, fatty acids are joined to glycerol via ester bonds formed between the carboxyl group of the fatty acid and a hydroxyl group on glycerol. This is the classic ester linkage found in fats and oils, so this option correctly describes an ester bond formation.
Option 4: monosaccharides — these connect via glycosidic bonds (a type of acetal/ether linkage), not ester bonds, so this is not correct.
Option 5: all of the above — since options 1, 2, and 4 do not form ester bonds, this cannot be correct.
Thus, the option describing fatty acids and glycerol as forming ester bonds aligns with the specific chemical linkage used in fatty lipid molecules, while the other options involve different types of bonds.
