Polymers are synthesized from monomer units and are composed of thousands of repeating chain units. The length and branching of these chains will help to determine the structural properties of the polymer
Terry
On the basis of structure, polymers are classified as :
Linear Polymers
These polymers are formed of long straight chains. Eg: HDP, Polyvinyl Chloride
Branched Chain Polymers
They are basically linear polymers with some branches. Eg: LDP, amylopectin
Cross Linked or Network Polymers
These polymers have may cross linking bonds that give rise to network like structure.These polymers contain Bi-Functional and tri-Functional monomers.
This question is extremely broad but simply polymers are constructed from monomers. The monomer units used, determine the structure/shape - simplified formula of a polymer. Taking the simplest example of all, ethylene can be polymerised to polyethylene. The structure could be simplified as shown below.
N (CH2=CH2 ) ----> ---[CH2-CH2-CH2CH2-CH2-CH2-]--N/3 this would show the structure was linear etc.
a polymer is made of many monomers in the process of polymerization
Polymers are formed in long, chainlike structures.
Polymers form when chemical bonds link large numbers of monomers in a repeating pattern

Anaxonic, unipolar, bipolar or multipolar
Carbon
no.. its basis as a molecular structure (nucleosides) means it cant carry out the functions of growth, reproduction, etc, hence it cannot be classified as an organism!
Hemicellulose are. Branched polymers made up of different monosaccharide why cellulose are unbranched polymers made up of exclusively glucose.
He classified plants on the basis of stem structure

For example thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, natural and synthetic polymers.
it is classified on the basis of seasonal temperatures and precipitation.
The big six polymers are classified as thermoplastics. This means that they can be melted and shaped.
polymers in nano structure

no.. its basis as a molecular structure (nucleosides) means it cant carry out the functions of growth, reproduction, etc, hence it cannot be classified as an organism!
On the basis of their structure, mode of nutrition and reproduction
