chains where the same simple molecule (called a monomer) repeats even million times.
Polymers are also present in nature, even if biological polymers are generally more rich in term of component variety with respect to artificial polymers. Both nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and proteins are carbon based biological polymers.
Polymers can be also built from silicon instead of from carbon, due to the ability of silicon to form four covalent bonds like carbon. Silicon rubber is a very diffuse type of silicon based polymer.
What else can I help you with?
Does A dehydration reaction that builds larger molecules from smaller units requires the addition of a water molecule?
Yes, a dehydration reaction joins smaller molecules by removing a water molecule. This process results in the formation of larger molecules and the release of a molecule of water as a byproduct.
What substance has large molecules of smaller units?
Polymers are substances that have large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers. Examples include plastics, DNA, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Is a cell smaller than a water molecule?
a cell is much bigger than a water molecule
A general process which breaks down large molecules into smaller ones?
The process you are referring to is called catabolism. Catabolism involves breaking down large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process. This process is essential for producing energy and building blocks for anabolic reactions in cells.
What is a sentence using the word macro molecule?
A macromolecule is one that has a large number of atoms.A protein is a macromolecule.We learned about a macromolecule in class today.
What is macro-molecules?
A molecule containing a very large number of atoms.
What is made up of repeats of a type of molecule?
A polymer is made up of repeat units usually known as monomers.
How is DNA organized and what does it contain?
DNA is a very large molecule, made up of smaller units called nucleotides that are strung together in a row. DNA contains sugar, phosphate, and nucleotide
What is smaller a molecule or a micron?
The units are incompatible. Millimetres are linear, micro-litres are for volume.
What are the smaller units that DNA are made of?
Molecules. DNA is a big molecule made by smaller molecules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA
Large molecule made of several repeated units?
It's called a polymer ( the single unit is a monomer) a repetitive bonding of a series of smaller molecules, a good example being a complex sugar molecule, a carbohydrate, compose of a string of smaller simple sugars (monosaccharides) to make it a polysaccharide.
When changing from large si units to smaller units what mathematical operation is used?
When changing from a larger unit to a smaller unit, there will be more of them, so you will multiply.
What is a large unit made up of smaller repeating units?
It is a polymer
What is a large molecule that is formed by more than five monomer or small units?
A polymer.
Do you use a centimeter to measure a length?
Yes, as well as other units. A centimetre is OK for things that range in size from a pencil to a large desk. For smaller objects I would use a millimetre (or smaller unit) and for longer objects a metre or larger units. Yes, as well as other units.

What is more economic for a business, one large ac unit or several small units?
It really depends on your space. The cost of larger units is much more expensive than smaller units. Your best bet would be to buy several smaller units.
Chromosome are made up of still smaller units called?
A chromosome is made up of DNA, which has subunits called nucleotides.
