DNA is a polymer of nucleotides. A DNA molecule consists of three parts—a nitrogen base, a five-carbon sugar called deoxyribose, and a phosphate group.
There are four DNA nucleotides, each with one of the four nitrogen bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine). The first letter of each of these four bases is often used to symbolize the respective nucleotide (A for adenine nucleotide, for example)

Why is DNA considered a polymer?
Polymer is a long molecule composed of repeating units called monomers. As DNA consists of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine repeating, it is called polymer.
What are many glucose units stacked together?
Starch is many glucose units stacked together. I hope i helped you with what your doing.
Starch is made up of what?
Starch is a polysaccharide: it is made up of many, many units of glucose molecules joined together with glycosidic linkages between them. Glucose units are joined through condensation (dehydration synthesis) reactions, where 2 H and one oxygen is removed between 2 glucose molecules to join them together. In photosynthesis, plants use light energy to produce chemical energy in the form of glucose from CO2 and water. The glucose produced is usually converted into starch by the plant for energy storage. Starch is stored mostly in the amyloplasts of a plant. Starch, unlike glucose, is not soluble in room temperature water, so it is more compact and easily stored.
Simple units work together to create?
human brain
How are proteins made of smaller units?
Proteins are made of smaller units called amino acids. The bases on DNA are a code for a specific amino acid. The mRNA will come over and read the DNA strand. Then it will go to the ribosome where rRNA will match up with complementary base pairs to the mRNA. The rRNA brought over holds the protein the DNA coded for. Then, the long strand of amino acids is brought over to this jar like structure where it is folded into a protein.
In starches, the glucose units are joined together by what?
atoms
Is (c6h10o5)750 a monosaccharide?
No, this is a polysaccharide, because many sugar units are joined together.
What is neleuotide?
Nucleotides are molecules that, when joined together, make up the structural units of RNA and DNA.
What is made up of two or more atoms joined together and that act as single units?
A Unit or Hertz
What a example of a polysaccharide?
Polysaccharidesare long carbohydrate molecules of monosaccharide units joined together by glycosidic bonds.
What are macromolescules?
Macromolecules are giant molecules that are formed when thousands of smaller units of identical molecules are joined together. This process of joining together smaller identical units into a large macromolecules (polymer) is called polymerisation.
What is nucliotide?
Do you mean "nucleotide"? Nucleotides are molecules that, when joined together, make up the structural units of RNA and DNA.
How are polysaccharides are formed?
They are formed by repeating units of mono- or di-saccharides, joined together by glycosidic bonds.
Explain the difference between disaccharide and a polysaccharide?
a disaccharide is two monosaccharides. and a polysaccharide is a long chain of monosaccharides joined together. they are units of carbohydrates.
A strand of DNA is a long strand of what?
Genetic information, also it contains adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, along with many other things, like Ribose and phosphate groups.
Each DNA strand has a backbone that consists of alternating?
sugar and phosphate units/molecules.
Small unit that can join together with other small units to form a polymer?
Monomers are joined together to form polymers, for example, proteins are a polymer, it's monomer is amino acids, and they are linked by peptide bonds to form a protein
