petechiae Tiny, flat red or purple spots in the skin or mucous membranes caused by bleeding from small blood vessels. Petechiae are a feature of the bleeding disorder PURPURA. Petechiae Tiny purple or red spots on the skin associated with endocarditis, resulting from hemorrhages under the skin's surface. Mentioned in: Endocarditis, Hantavirus Infections, Hemorrhagic Fevers, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Monomers are the building blocks that make up nucleic acid. Also known as nucleotides, they are composed of a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.
A monomer is the subunit of a polymer and the building blocks of polymers. Polymers are the large carbon based molecules while the monomers are the smaller molecules. Question 2 Explain how both nucleic acids and proteins are polymers. Be sure to describe the monomers that make up the polymers.Nucleic acids and proteins are both polymers because they are composed of many smaller subunits-monomers. Nucleic acids are composed of polymers of monomers called nucleotides.roteins are also polymers-they are composed of groups of monomers called amino acids. Amino acids are molecules comprised of hydrogens, nitrogens, carbons, oxygens, and a variable group which ranges between 20 different possible atoms.
