Monomers are the basic building blocks of larger organic molecules. 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. monomer is a small molecular subunit that can be combined with similar subunits to form larger molecules. In living systems, like our own bodies, these larger molecules include carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins.
Bronze is usually made up of copper (about 90%) and tin (about 10%) Brass is usually made up of copper and zinc. Some alloys are called bronze when they are actually brass, suâ¦ch as commercial bronze which is made from copper and zinc.
Now, when copper is combined with other metals the end result is an alloy. Both bronze and brass are examples of copper alloys. They too play very important roles industrially. The primary difference between the two is that brass is made out of copperâs combination with zinc while bronze is literally copper plus tin. As mentioned, copper is now popularly used in many industries but for it to become more useful, it needs to be combined first with other more stable metals. This is because copper in its purest form is just too soft. This is the same reason why bronze and brass came to existence. Historically speaking, bronze is an older alloy because it is said that it was already discovered as early as 3500 BC.
