What kind of element is plastic?
Plastic is a large molecule called a polymer, and it's always a compound.
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as what?
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as a polymer.
What polymer acts as an energy molecule?
Carbohydrate
What molecule is released during construction of a polymer?
During the construction of a polymer, a molecule of water is typically released in a process called dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. This reaction links monomer units together to form a polymer chain by removing a water molecule for each bond formed between the monomers.
A very large organic molecule made up of chains of smaller molecules is called?
condensation
What polymer s as an energy storage molecule?
Glycogen/starch
What is a small molecule that forms a link in polymer chains?
a monomer
What is one molecule called that makes up the links in a polymer chain?
Monomer is the term used to describe the individual molecule that links together to form a polymer chain.
What are small molecule that form links in polymer chains?
The links in a polymer chain are covalent bonded.
What forms a polymer when two or more join together?
When two or more join together a polymer forms a molecule.
What type of carbon based molecule are DNA and RNA?
A carbon based molecule is a polymer. Edit: A carbon based molecule does not have to be a polymer, although some polymers are carbon based. For example methane - CH4 is carbon based and not a polymer. Carbon based molecules are called organic compounds.
Is fat an element or a compound?
Fat is a fairly complicated compound: it is composed of a glycerin molecule with 3 fatty acid molecules attached. Each of the fatty acid molecules is composed of a carboxylic acid molecule and a hydrocarbon polymer molecule chain. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains can be of any length and either flexible or rigid. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains will likely be different in each of the 3 fatty acid molecules in a given fat molecule.
