Best Answer

Polyesters are commonly made from an organic alcohol (containing hydroxyl [OH] groups) and a carboxylic acid (containing carboxyl [COOH] groups).

A carboxylic acid and an amine react to form nylon.


What functional groups form disulfide bonds?

The functional groups involved in forming disulfide bonds are sulfhydral (-SH) groups.


What is the relationship between carbon skeletons and functional groups?

Both carbon skeletons and functional groups put together, add, or have atomos of oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. Different arrangements of atoms bonded to a carbon skeleton can form functional groups, wich give specific properties to molecules.


Which two functional side groups are included in the straight-chain form of all monosaccharides?

Attached to all straight chain forms of monosaccharides are side groups. The side groups are one carbonyl functional group and one hydroxyl group on the remaining carbon atoms.

Why are alkanes unreactive when mixed with acids and alkalis?

I think it's because the covalent bonds are strong, and therefore unreactive to acids & alkalis. You'd need to get alkanes in gas form to make it react, but you'd still need energy for it to react, like, say, heat perhaps?

How can simple chemical monomers can be combined to create linear and branched and cross linked polymers?

There are two ways in which monomers can combine. The first is by straight addition; carbon-carbon double bonds can add one after another (usually via a radical reaction in the presence of light) to form a long carbon chain. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is an example of an addition polymer. The other way is via condensation. A monomer (or two different monomers in the case of some polymers) with two certain functional groups can add to another functional group to form water and a chemical bond. For instance, a carboxyl group on one end of a monomer can react with an -OH group on the other end of a different monomer to form water and an ester bond. As this happens more and more, creating longer and longer chains, we would get a polymer called a polyester.


How are the thorax and cephalothroax of arthropods related to segmentation?

The segments of an animal body are often put together into functional groups known as tagmata. The contents of these groups vary by species and, depending on what they contain, they have specific names. Some tagmata groups form a thorax, some form cephalothoraxes, and others still make up heads and abdomens.
