If a cell needed to turn a polysaccharide into monosaccharides it would need to perform what?

It needs to hydrolyze (perform hydrolysis on) the polymer into monomers with an enzyme.


How are the molecules in polymers different from the molecules of other compounds?

A polymer is a long chain of small molecules (monomers).

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


Do a monomer or polymer contain more molecules?

a monomer Polymers are composed of monomers.


What molecules are monomers of the polymers studied?

depending on what type of polymer you want to study


In polymerization complex molecules are formed by joining together of what?

Two monomers join together to form a polymer. Also two oligomers can join together and form a polymer.


What is the comparison in a polymer and a monomer?

Linking bonds, most often dehydration reactions, where atoms/molecules are removed from certain ends of the monomers, forming an H2O molecule (water) and the monomers then join up. However, that is a general formula.


What is dead polymer?

Dead polymer is said to be it is incapable of further growth by monomers. The polymer is originally composed by heavy molecules, monomers. When there is no longer active polymerization, the polymer is dead. HIMANSHU SINGH M.Sc.-Industrial chemistry up india MO-09839358172


What is the difference between monomers and isomers?

Monomers and isomers are completely different. Monomers are building blocks of polymers/macromolecules. For example, amino acids are the monomers of proteins and monosaccharides are monomers of carbohydrates. Isomers, on the other hand, are molecules with the same number of atoms in a compound, but different arrangements of bonds or shapes.
