∙ 13y agoPerhaps you're looking for one of the terms "peptide bond" or "amide bond". Both are used.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the monomers. Two joined monosaccharides form a glycosidic bond, two joined amino acids form a peptide bond, etc.

Type of bond that forms to joins monomers into polymers is what kind of bond?
These bonds are covalent.
How are polymers broken-down to monomers?
It certainly depends on what type of polymer you are speaking. For peptide polymers the reaction for monomerization is hydrolysis. This is the addition of water in combination with the cleavage of the peptide bond.
What type of bond links amino acids to form polymers?
All amino acids can bond with each other to form peptides then polypeptides and proteins.
Why are proteins and carbohydrates polymers-?
It depends on the context. Colloquially, proteins and carbohydrates mean the polymers (polypeptides and polysaccharides) because there is no need to address the monomers - we eat the polymers. However, while studying Biochemistry, it is not sufficient to say just protein or carbohydrate. You would need to specify if your talking about a monomer or a polymer and what type.
Which of the major types of biological molecules does NOT consist of monomers and polymers?
The major type of biological molecules that does not consist of monomers and polymers are Lipids. Although triglycerides are created by the combination of similar molecules, others, steroids, are not.
Type of bond that forms to joins monomers into polymers is what kind of bond?
These bonds are covalent.
Is enzymes monomers or polymers?
Enzymes are a type of protein, which are amino acid polymers.
How are polymers broken-down to monomers?
It certainly depends on what type of polymer you are speaking. For peptide polymers the reaction for monomerization is hydrolysis. This is the addition of water in combination with the cleavage of the peptide bond.
Are polyols the same as vinyl polymers?
No they are not. Polyols are polyalcohols. Vinyl polymers are polymers of monomers of the type CH2=CHX .
What type of chemical reaction occurs when polymers are broken apart by water?
Hydrolysis. Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis
What molecules are monomers of the polymers studied?
depending on what type of polymer you want to study
What type of bond links amino acids to form polymers?
All amino acids can bond with each other to form peptides then polypeptides and proteins.
Why are polymers formed?
Polymers are the result of carbon-based covalent molecules forming long chains. The word should by now be unsurprising. Poly meaning many and mer, as in isomer, is a unit, thus many units. The formation of polymers (polymerisation) is the subject of the following types of reactions.
What type of bond is needed to hold polymers together?
Covalent bonds generally hold polymers together.
Why are proteins and carbohydrates polymers-?
It depends on the context. Colloquially, proteins and carbohydrates mean the polymers (polypeptides and polysaccharides) because there is no need to address the monomers - we eat the polymers. However, while studying Biochemistry, it is not sufficient to say just protein or carbohydrate. You would need to specify if your talking about a monomer or a polymer and what type.

What is the chemical reaction by which monomers are linked together to form polymers?
This type of reaction is named polymerization.
