Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer). For more in formation about polymers, starting at the very beginning, see: http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/wiap.htm
How many glycerol molecules are in phospholipid?
For a Lpid molecule, it contain 1 glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acidmolecules but I do not think a Phospholipid molecule contain any glycerol molecules as they are replaced by the phosphate group.
How many differatn types of monomers are there in starch?
There is but one monomer of Starch - it is called Glucose. The word/term "saccharides" means sugars. STARCH is a sugar that plants store for future use.
How many possible combinations can be formed from the protein's monomers?
there is alot
Subunits that make up polymers?
It's the monomer, the unit that repeats itself along the polymer.
Explain the connection between monomers and polymers?
Monomers are single units while polymers are monomers linked together. So with polysaccharides being polymers or monomers linked together, then think of a single monomer of sugar such as maltose.
Is a biomolecule that is composed of many monomers linked together?
Yes, a biomolecule that is composed of many monomers linked together is called a polymer. Polymers can be composed of various types of monomers, such as amino acids in proteins, nucleotides in nucleic acids, or sugars in carbohydrates. Examples of biomolecules that are polymers include proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and polysaccharides.
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.

When monomers combine they form what?
Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.
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.
What are macromolecules?
A macromolecule is a molecule in which there are many atoms linked together. All polymers are macro molecules,but not all macromolecules are not polymers because a polymer is linked with monomers.
What do Many food chains linked together make?
A food web.
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)
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)
Are all proteins polymers?
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Another name for protein is polypeptide. They are made of many (poly = many) amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. (Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers of lipids)
How many products are formed when fluoroethene monomers join together?
2.1 million
