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.
When monomers are linked they form molecules called?
DNA is made of small units called nucleotides. One nucleotide generally contains a phosphate group, a sugar (Deoxyribose), and nitrogen bases (Purines:Adenine, Guanine; and Pyrimidines: Cytosine, and Thymine)
Explain the connection between monomers and polymers?
Monomers are single units while polymers are monomers linked together. So with polysaccharides being polymers or monomers linked together, then think of a single monomer of sugar such as maltose.
Compare and contrast amino acid and protein?
Proteins are made up of many amino acids. This is analogous to a polymer being made up of many monomers.
What are macromolecules?
A macromolecule is a molecule in which there are many atoms linked together. All polymers are macro molecules,but not all macromolecules are not polymers because a polymer is linked with monomers.
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as what?
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as a polymer.
An analogy for how a polymer is made from many monomers?
The freezing of ice.

What is an example of a monomer and polymer pair?
Monomers are the starting units for making Polymers. For eg: Polyethylene is synthesized by addition polymerisation technique to form Polyethylene. Many monomers join together to form a large macromolecule called as polymer.
How are monomers and polymers diffrent?
The monomer is just the subunit that makes up the construction of many units of the polymer. M = monomer M-M-M-M = polymer ( units do not need to be the same )
Is a protein polymer or monomer?
Definitely a polymer. Protein is made of many monomers of amino acids.
When monomers are linked they form molecules called?
DNA is made of small units called nucleotides. One nucleotide generally contains a phosphate group, a sugar (Deoxyribose), and nitrogen bases (Purines:Adenine, Guanine; and Pyrimidines: Cytosine, and Thymine)
What one gets when linking many monomers?
polymer.
What to many monomers make up when they are linked together?
monomers are made up of small molecules which join together to make polymers
Explain the connection between monomers and polymers?
Monomers are single units while polymers are monomers linked together. So with polysaccharides being polymers or monomers linked together, then think of a single monomer of sugar such as maltose.
Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer). For more in formation about polymers, starting at the very beginning, see: http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/wiap.htm
Are all polymers made of chains smaller molecules?
Yes. That is why they are called polymers. The prefix "poly-" means many. A polymer is made from many monomers.
