What are some examples of monomers in proteins?
Some examples of monomers in proteins include amino acids such as glycine, alanine, and lysine. These monomers are the building blocks that make up the structure of proteins.
What is the relationships between monomer's and polymer's?
Monomers are the building blocks that are used to make polymers. Remember: mono = one, poly = many Monomers are like the links in a chain and polymers are like the chain. Many chain links (monomers) make up a whole chain (polymer)
How does a monomer connect to a polymer?
monomers are basic building blocks that make up the big polymer. just like bricks make up a house
How are monomers related t o polymers?
Polymers are any number of compounds consisting of millions of repeating units. Monomers are related because they're the building blocks of a polymer.
Are amino acids monomers of disaccharides?
No, amino acids are not monomers of disaccharides. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, while monosaccharides are the monomers that make up disaccharides. Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides are joined together through a glycosidic linkage.
What do you call the single units that make up carbohydrates and what do you call the long chains of carbohydrates?
Monomers of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. Chains are polysaccharides.
Are carbohydrates made of amino acids?
No, carbohydrates are not made of amino acids. Carbohydrates are made of sugar molecules, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
What is he chemical mechanism by which cells make polymers from monomers?
Cells form polymers from monomers through a process called polymerization. In this process, monomers are joined together by specific enzymes that create covalent bonds between them. This results in the formation of larger molecules, or polymers, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates.
What do you call the identical building blocks or units structures that make up polymers?
Strictly speaking the answer is "mers" - repeating units. Polymers are made from monomers though and this is an acceptable answer.
What are the components that make up a carbohydrate?
Carbohydrates are made up of three main components: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. These elements combine to form simple sugars, such as glucose, which are the building blocks of carbohydrates.
What are the building blocks of carbohydrates?
The first class of biomolecules we will discuss are the carbohydrates. These molecules are comprised of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). Commonly, these molecules are known as sugars. Carbohydrates can range in size from very small to very large. Like all the other biomolecules, carbohydrates are often built into long chains by stringing together smaller units. This works like adding beads to a bracelet to make it longer. The general term for a single unit or bead is a monomer. The term for a long string of monomers is a polymer. Examples of carbohydrates include the sugars found in milk (lactose) and table sugar (sucrose). Depicted below is the structure of the monomer sugar glucose, a major source of energy for our body. Building blocks are simple sugars, or monosaccharides. i thought carbon ,hydrogen and oxygen were the atoms involved, not the building blocks.
Building blocks of carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are made up of monosaccharides, which are simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose. These monosaccharides can join together to form disaccharides (e.g. sucrose, lactose) and polysaccharides (e.g. starch, glycogen, cellulose).
