What else can I help you with?
Are all polymers man made?
No, not all polymers are man-made. Some polymers can be found in nature, such as proteins, cellulose, and DNA. These natural polymers have unique properties and functions in living organisms.
What are the uses of polymers to mankind?
Plastics, which are polymers plus some additives, are their main use.
What are example of Some polymers?
Molecules
What are some examples of polymers found in carbohydrates?
Some examples of polymers found in carbohydrates include starch, cellulose, and glycogen. These polymers are made up of repeating units of simple sugars like glucose.
Do polymers have double bonds?
Yes. Some polymers have double bonds, for example natural rubber - poly isoprene . See link for structure. However many polymers that are familiar do not polyethylene is (C2H4)n , polyvinyl chloride (C2H3Cl)n
Do Polymers come from plants?
Plants do make and use some polymers (e.g. starch, cellulose etc.), as do some animals (e.g. spider silk) but most of what we know as polymers are artificial (e.g. polyethylene, nylon etc.).
Name some natural river?
Such a river would be still in the form as it was produced exclusively by nature. Now days it would be impossible to find a river without any form of interference from man.
What is acid produced by plant roots?
Auxins is the name of the acid produced by some plant roots.
What are some macromolocules?
Macromolecules are polymers. There are bio-polymers such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and DNA, and there are synthetic polymers such as plastics (polystyrene and polyvinylchloride) and synthetic fibres. Nylon and terylene are also considered macromolecules.
Which element contains organic polymers?
Elements do not contain polymers. It is the other way around. Organic polymers contain elements. These are usually C, O, H, N, Halogens and some others.
Are polymers renewable or nonrenewable?
Polymers can be both depending upon which ones you are asking about. Polymer simply means "a chain of identical molecules linked together". Nonrenewable polymers would be plastics made from crude oil; renewable polymers would be cellulose and lignin in tree trunks.
Some polymers are elastic because they are made up of?
Protein.
