Why are Nucleic acid's protein's and other large biological molecules are known as polymers because?

Because they are made up of long strains of other molecules. Starch is made up of lots of glucose molecules and Proteins are made up of lots of amino acids joined together and arranged in different shapes.
"Many units" is the definition. Starch is made up of many cross linked units of glucose. Proteins are many varying units of the twenty different amino acids used in living organisms. Proteins are made up of many polysaccharides linked together by a peptide bond.

∙ 11y agoThe word protein itself is derived from a character in Greek mythology named Proteus, who has the ability to change his shape. Proteins are a type of chemical that can form an enormous variety of forms, that do an enormous variety of different things in a living organism. Also note, nucleic acids are not classified as proteins, they are their own category.

CARBOHYDRATES- polymers of sugars LIPIDS- polymers of fatty acids PROTEINS- polymers of amino acids NUCLEIC ACIDS- polymers of nucleotides
Are carbohydrates proteins and DNA all polymers?
polymers are a type of carbohydrate, but DNA is a type of nucleic acid and polypeptides are proteins
Which 6 elements are the most predominant in forming biological molecules?
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Amino Acids, Peptides, Proteins, Nucleic acids.
What are the three main types of macromolecules or polymers in living organisms?
The three main types of biological polymers that living organisms produce are polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids.
What are four types of polymers that can be found in the cells of organism?
starches,cellulose,nucleic acids,and proteins
Why are Nucleic acids proteins and other large biological molecules are known as polymers?
Because they have large collection of monomers and the monomers linked each other by bond.
What are the four classes of biological molecules?
The four principle types of biological molecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nuclei acids. These molecules are some of the most important things in a humans body. Without these biological molecules the human body could not function.

What is oparins theory?
Oparin and Haldane made their own theory about the heterotroph hypothesis and they came up with several points: 1. There had to be a supply of organic molecules produced by a non-biological process 2. They had to be assembled into polymers like proteins and nucleic acids. 3. Those polymers had to be assembled into a self-replicating system.
