What is a phenolic polymer?
Phenolic polymer = made of phenylpropanoid subunits (called monolignols) which are derived from phenylalanine
What are individual subunits of macromolecules called?
Monosaccharides, triglyceride, amino acids, and nucleotides
What is happening if a polymer is degrading?
The bonds of the polymers are coming apart so that it is breaking into its constituent components.
The breakdown of polymer involves... a. hydrolysis b. a condensation reaction c. the breaking down of hydrogen bonds d. the breaking of ionic bonds?
a. hydrolysis
What will change the properties of a polymer?
The bond between the polymer chains can be stretched without breaking, thus the polymer can regain shape after distortion from an outside force: it is elastic.
What is elasticity in polymers generally related to amount of hydrogen bonding between different subunits number of subunits in the polymer chain its greater tensile strength the synthetic composure?
amount of hydrogen bonding between different subunitsnumber of subunits in the polymer chainits greater tensile strengththe synthetic composure
What subunits is the DNA polymer composed of?
Everett is the DON!
What is a phenolic polymer?
Phenolic polymer = made of phenylpropanoid subunits (called monolignols) which are derived from phenylalanine
What is a carbohydrate polymer composed of beta glucose subunits?
A polymer composed of beta-glucose monomers is cellulose.
What is a carbohydrate polymer composed of beta-glucose subunits?
A polymer composed of beta-glucose monomers is cellulose.
Is chitin a homo-polymer?
Chitin does not contain polymers, but is, rather, a polymer itself. Chitin is a polysaccharide. So, it is a polymer of saccharide subunits. In this case, chitin has many N-acetyl-D-glucosamine subunits.
Which of the following is a polymer a amino acids b monosaccharide c nucleotide d DNA?
DNA is the only polymer in that list. The other 3 options are all individual subunits that could be made into a polymer. Amino acids are the monomers (individual subunits) that up DNA and RNA
When amino acid subunits are joined together they form a type of polymer called?
Polypeptides
What are large compounds that are composed of many smaller molecular subunits?
The answer would be polymers (poly meaning many).
What makes a polymer elastic?
Some polymers are elastic because they are made of proteins.
Large organic molecules that are synthesized from multiple subunits are?
Molecules that are synthesised from multiple subunits are known as polymers. The subunits are known as monomers. An example of a polymer is a protein, which is made up of amino acid subunits (monomers). A large organic molecule, usually created by polymerisation of monomers is known as a macromolecule. This includes nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates.
How many subunits does glucose have?
It has only one. We refer to subunits when we talk about polymers, which long molecules made up of joined monomers, rather like a necklace made of many beads. The beads are the subunits. Glucose is not a polymer, it is a monomer. Amylose, one of the constituents of starch,is made of at least a thousand glucose subunits.
