A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as what?
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as a polymer.
Starch consists of smaller units called?
Glucose. Starch is a polymer made of glucose monomers.
Why is DNA considered a polymer?
Polymer is a long molecule composed of repeating units called monomers. As DNA consists of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine repeating, it is called polymer.
What is a nucleic acids polymer?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are both polymers, with repeating units (monomers) of nucleotides, which are made up of: - a nitrogenous base - a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose or ribose) - a phosphate group
What is a microfilament?
Being part of the cytoskeleton, microfilaments allow cells to move.
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as what?
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as a polymer.
Is poly amides a polymer?
A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeating units. These units are called monomers. In a polymer, monomers may be both identical or non identical. In polyamide, as the name suggests, the monomers are amides and it is a polymer.
Is polysacharide a polymer?
YES. All polymers are made of repeating units called monomers. In this case the repeating unit is a sugar (glucose) forming the polysaccharide such as starch.
Polymers are large organic molecules that are made up of?
False, polymers are molecules made from repeating units of identical or nearly identical compounds called monomers that are linked together by a series of covalent bonds.
Long chain-like molecule made of repeating units?
Molecules consisting of chains of repeating units are called polymers. Polymers are made up of smaller molecules that join to form these larger molecules. Examples of polymers include starch and nylon.
What is monosaccharide made up of?
monosachharides (monomers) bond together to form polysachharides- these are polymers made up of repeating monomer units and constitute sugars.
What does polymers mean?
in chemistry the word polymer means a naturally occurring or synthetic compound consisting of large molecules made up of a linked series of repeated simple monomers.
What do you call the identical building blocks or units structures that make up polymers?
Strictly speaking the answer is "mers" - repeating units. Polymers are made from monomers though and this is an acceptable answer.
Starch consists of smaller units called?
Glucose. Starch is a polymer made of glucose monomers.
What are polymers made from chemicals?
A polymer (a chemical term) is any material that is made up of repeating linked units (monomers). An example of a polymer is starch. It is made from linked units of Glucose (a sugar). Another example is plastics such as low density polyethylene made from linking repeating ethylene (a gas) units. Maybe a more familar example that is used around the house is when you repair your car with fiberglass. The liquid that is used to bond the fiberglass to the car and itself is styene monomer. When the catalyst is added to the styrene monomomer you are starting a chemical reaction that joins the monomers into very long polymers that cross link and form a hard polymer.
Which macromolecules are made repeating small units?
Thrse molecules are called polymers.
What is a double helix made of?
The Double helix is actually made of repeating units called nucleotides
