A chain of monomers is called a polymer, if it is sufficiently long. (We'd probably say something like trimer if there were only three.) Polymers can be formed by electrophilic addition, for instance polythene, or condensation, for instance a protein.
A chain of monomers bonded together make a polymer.
No a chain if the are called Polymers. Monomers are singular hence 'mono' rather than a chain.
They are called polymers. There are 2 types of polymers according to the bonds that monomers make between them.
Monomers that form chains or link together in some way or form are called polymers.
This chain is called a polymer.
A polymer.
shush
peptide bonds chain together the monomers of a protein (ergo called polypeptides).
Amino acids "join together" to form polypeptides. The amino acids are covalently bonded together via a condensation reaction to form a peptide bond. A chain of the amino acids bonded together is known as the polypeptide. A protein is made up of one or more polypeptides.
starch: made up of a long chain of glucose molecules bonded together by an alpha 1,4 bond. (carbon 1 of one glucose is bonded to carbon 4 of another glucose) Cellulose: made up of a long chain of glucose molecules bonded together by a beta 1,4 bond. (carbon 1 of one glucose is bonded to carbon 4 of another glucose) glycogen: made up of a long chain of glucose bonded together by an alpha 1,4 bond. However, the glycogen chain of glucoses is a branched chain- it is not one straight chain, it branches out starch is stored as glucose in plants glycogen is stored as glucose in animals cellulose is used as the cell wall of plants
cellulose is a polymer. it a chain of repeating monomers. the monomer for cellulose is glucose. cellulose is a polymer. it a chain of repeating monomers. the monomer for cellulose is glucose.
No. A water molecule only consists of three atoms bonded together.
polypeptide
The links in a polymer chain are covalent bonded.
Polypeptide chain.
peptide bonds chain together the monomers of a protein (ergo called polypeptides).
Monomers of carbohydrates:Monosaccharides-single simple sugar (honey, glucose fruit)Disaccharides- Two monosaccharides bonded together (sucrose,lactose)Polysaccharides-long chain of sugar units, Complex carbohydrates.(starch,cellulose)

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)

Monosaccharides and DisaccharidesIn the category of nutrients, there are monomers and polymers. Monomers are the "building blocks" of large macromolecules, or any molecule chain created through condensation reactions. These are the polymers, three or more monomers bonded together. In the category of carbohydrates, there are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosacchaides, and polysaccharides. Just from the prefixes, you can tell that the monosaccharides are monomers, the disaccharides are two bonded monomers (monosaccharides) and oligosacchaides and polysaccharides are made up of many monomers (monosaccharides).The monosaccharides are just a single carbon ring (in the natural aqueous environment of an organism). The monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. The disaccharides are two carbon rings bonded together by a glycosidic linkage in a condensation (dehydration) reaction, which removes a molecule of water. Disaccharides include maltose (glucose + glucose), lactose (glucose + galactose), sucrose (glucose + fructose), and more.When we consume food, we are taking in the large polysacchaides such as starch and smaller molecules such as maltose. We take these long molecules and digest them - break up their glycosidic linkages until they are monosaccharides (monomers) that we can absorb throughout out alimentary canal (usually in small intestine).A monosaccharide is one saccharide (or sugar) molecule. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose.A disaccharide is two saccharides (sugars) bonded together through a dehydration reaction. An example of a disaccharide is maltose which is two glucose linked together.A polysaccharide is typically ten or more saccharides bonded together. Cellulose is an example of a polysaccharide, which is ten or more glucose linked together.
No, it is a poly-saccharide ... of glucose - so is glycogen. Both glycogen and cellulose are polymers of the monomer Glucose - the two different ways that the two are chemically bonded [both in a chain] together account for the difference. Steroids are but a group of the corticosteroids - hormones, all of them.
