Most macromolecules are made up of thousands of smaller molecules called?
Monomers.
How Both Nucleic Acids aNd Proteins And Polymers?
A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeated subunits called monomers. Nucleic acids are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. Protein is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids.
Why does a cell need to break down polymers into monomers?
Because macromolecules are large molecules and are insoluble. It is easier to store them and use them when they have been hydrolysed to smaller molecules and are made soluble.
When monomers are linked they form molecules called?
DNA is made of small units called nucleotides. One nucleotide generally contains a phosphate group, a sugar (Deoxyribose), and nitrogen bases (Purines:Adenine, Guanine; and Pyrimidines: Cytosine, and Thymine)
Dna and rna are made of linked monomers called what?
nucleotides
Is poly amides a polymer?
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.
Polymers are large organic molecules that are made up of?
False, polymers are molecules made from repeating units of identical or nearly identical compounds called monomers that are linked together by a series of covalent bonds.
Most macromolecules are made up of thousands of smaller molecules called?
Monomers.
Are all polymers made of chains smaller molecules?
Yes. That is why they are called polymers. The prefix "poly-" means many. A polymer is made from many monomers.
What does polymers mean?
in chemistry the word polymer means a naturally occurring or synthetic compound consisting of large molecules made up of a linked series of repeated simple monomers.
Polyethylene molecules are made of monomers linked head to tail?
ethene
How Both Nucleic Acids aNd Proteins And Polymers?
A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeated subunits called monomers. Nucleic acids are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. Protein is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids.
Why does a cell need to break down polymers into monomers?
Because macromolecules are large molecules and are insoluble. It is easier to store them and use them when they have been hydrolysed to smaller molecules and are made soluble.
What monomers combine to make a complex carbohydrate?
Monomers are similar identical units covalently bonded to each other to from polymers. The monomer of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. Carbohydrates are polymers so its monomer is a simple sugar called monosaccharide.
What are small molecular units joined together in large molecules called?
Macromolecules.
Are polypeptides made of polysaccharides?
No. Polypeptides and polysaccharides are two different types of macromolecules. The first class is commonly called "proteins" and the second is commonly called "sugars." Both are polymers - molecules that are composed of smaller subunits called monomers. Polypeptides ― or proteins ― are composed of monomers called amino acids. In contrast, polysaccharides are composed of monomers called monosaccharides.
A Large compound formed by joining smaller compounds?
These are called polymers. They are made by a large number of monomers bond together. These polymers are macro molecules.
