A Nutritional Monomer That Can Be Transported in the Blood

Question

A nutritional monomer that can be transported in the blood after a typical meal is
A) sucrose.
B) maltose.
C) fatty acid.
D) dipeptide.
E) trinucleotide.

Accepted Answer

Fatty acids are the monomers that can be transported in the blood after a typical meal. They are the breakdown products of fats and can be used directly by cells for energy or stored in adipose tissue. Other options like sucrose, maltose, dipeptides, and trinucleotides are not monomers; they are larger molecules that need to be further broken down before their components can be transported in the blood.
