Monosaccharides are the monomers that make up carbohydrates. Glucose is an example of a monosaccharide. Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers that make up lipids. Nucleotides are the monomers that make up nucleic acids.Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins.nstructor: Nicholas Gauthier. Organic molecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids, are made of simple subunits called monomers. Learn to identify and describe the different types of monomers that are important to living systems.
