..... bricks in a wall or .... rings in a chain
Monomers are the elementary units in polymers, like bricks in a wall.
Monomers joined together make a polymer.
The Process of Formation of Polymer from its Monomers is Called Polymerization.
Monomers in a polymer could be linked in various ways.
A monomer is a single structure and has low moleculer weight, while a polymer consists of several monomers and appears like plastic such as shellac and varnish.A polymer has higher molecular weight. Polymers don't always look like plastic--wood and cotton are both polymers. Rubber is also a polymer.
Spandex polymers are composed of three different monomers. Dialcohol monomers make up the rubbery, soft part of the polymer while diamine and diisocyanate monomers make up the rigid, hard part of the polymer. The three monomers of spandex therefore are dialcohol, diamine and diisocyanate.
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.
Polymers are the macromolecules formed when monomers join together.polymer
Monomers joined together make a polymer.
a lipid polymer is a stand of monomers connected. lipid monomers are fatty acids and glycerol.
by adding monomers to create a polymer, at a certain time, a polymer becomes a macromolecule
A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeating units. These units are called monomers. In a polymer, monomers may be both identical or non identical. In polyamide, as the name suggests, the monomers are amides and it is a polymer.
Lipids do not have monomers and they themselves are the polymer
A polymer is build out of its monomers.
polymer
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)
What is the difference between monomers and polymers?
A lipid is both a polymer and monomer. Polymer: Triglyceride Monomers: glycerol and fatty acids
