What is a polynucleotide?
Polynucleotide is a molecule that is usually in DNA and RNA. It is biopolymer composed and usually has thirteen or more nucleotides.
Subunits that make up polymers?
It's the monomer, the unit that repeats itself along the polymer.
The process of forming a larger molecule from its monomer is called what?
Many terms can describe this process. The reactions involved are called dehydration synthesis (aka condensation) reactions or more specifically polymerization reactions. However the process can be called an anabolic process.
How many polynucleotide chains are in each DNA molecule?
hundreds and thousands =) : im looking at my book right now because i also needed this answer.
Which component of DNA carries the gentic code?
The genetic code is located in the two stranded DNA molecule. Each strand is a polynucleotide that is composed of Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine.
What are called monomers?
Monomer is a single molecule.
What is one molecule called that makes up the links in a polymer chain?
a monomer.
In DNA molecule how many polynucleotide strands are present?
2 polynucleotide strands make up a DNA and these strands are held togatehr by hydrogen bonds. In D.N.A there are 2 polynucleotide strands in R.N.A there is usually 1 polynucleotide strand.
What is a polynucleotide?
Polynucleotide is a molecule that is usually in DNA and RNA. It is biopolymer composed and usually has thirteen or more nucleotides.
What does the term monomer refer to?
A monomer is a molecule that can bond to other monomer molecules to form polymers.
Is glucose a monomer?
Yes. You are right. Glucose is a monomer. Because it is a single molecule.
What is the monomer for a lipid?
The monomer for a lipid would be 3 fatty acids and a glycerol molecule.
What is the job of nucleotide?
A nucleotide is the monomer of a nucleic acid. When many nucleotides go through polymerization, then they create a polymer called a polynucleotide. Which are the building blocks for DNA and RNA.
What is the monomer unit of cellulose?
It depends on the type of plastic. Different plastics have different monomer units. PVC- Poly Vinyl Chloride has Vinyl Chloride CH2=CHCl as the monomer unit. Polyethylene has ethylene (ethene) CH2=CH2 as the monomer unit. There are many others.
What is a molecule that may bind chemically to other molecules to form a polymer?
That would be a monomer.
How glucose is a monomer?
monomer means the sinlge unit or simpliest unit of a bond, glucose is the simpliiest unit a sugar bond is going to come down to and it is a monomer of other sugars which are disaccrides such as maltose and sucrose
What is the definition of the word monomer?
The definition of the word monomer is molecule that just might bind chemically to other molecules to create something called a polymer. This term is usually used in the field of biology.
