Are monomers made up of many polymer units?
No. Amino acid monomers are used to make protein polymers. Nucleotide monomers are used to make DNA polymers.
Basic units in organic compounds that are repeated over and over are called?
monomer
What mean polymerise?
Polymers are chemical substances which are made up from smaller units, called monomers. The reaction of joining these monomers to form this larger unit is called polymerisation. (monomers polymerise into polymers). The subunits, or polymers, are typical of the chemical substances. For example, the monomers of proteins are amino acids, monomers of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. The reaction itself, by what these monomers are joining together, is a dehydration or condensation reaction.
How many different kinds of monomers are there in nucleic acids?
The monomers of nucleic acids are called nucleotides. There are only two types of nucleic acid: RNA and DNA. Both nucleotides contain a ribose sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.
Which of the four types of macromolecules units called monosaccharides?
They are type of monomers. They build up carbohydrates.
Which class of macromolecules is not in repeating units of monomers?
lipids.
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.
What class of macromolecules in not organized in repeating units of monomers?
lipids
What class of macromolecule is not organized in repeating units of monomers?
lipids
What class of macromolecules is not organized repeating units of monomers?
lipids
Starch consists of smaller units called?
Glucose. Starch is a polymer made of glucose monomers.
What are the sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids?
Amino acids
Are monomers made up of many polymer units?
No. Amino acid monomers are used to make protein polymers. Nucleotide monomers are used to make DNA polymers.
A molecule with two amino acid units is a?
Single amino acids are monomers, and monomers of amino acids join by peptide bonds to form polypeptide polymers.A polymer consisting of two monomers is a dimer.
The monomers in a polymer are like what?
links in a chainbeads on a necklessetc.
What is an example of a monomer and polymer pair?
Monomers are the starting units for making Polymers. For eg: Polyethylene is synthesized by addition polymerisation technique to form Polyethylene. Many monomers join together to form a large macromolecule called as polymer.
What is the basic composition of the macro-molecules?
Macromolecules are formed from small units called monomers.
