Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer). For more in formation about polymers, starting at the very beginning, see: http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/wiap.htm
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as what?
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as a polymer.
What happens after dehydration synthesis occurs?
Dehydration synthesis, aka condensation reactions join smaller molecules, mostly subunits of a larger molecule (e.g. nucleic acids, monosaccharides, amino acids), into larger molecules (e.g. DNA/RNA, polysaccharides, proteins) with the release of one molecule of water per bond formed between smaller subunits.
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 is the monomer of the polynucleotide molecule called?
Nucleic acid is a polymer. The monomer of it is a nucleotide.
Which pair of functional groups can be part of a condensation reaction form a polymer chain?
The pair of functional groups that can be part of a condensation reaction to form a polymer chain is hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. The hydroxyl group provides the -OH to form water during the condensation reaction, linking monomers together to form the polymer chain.
Is the polymerization of polylactic acid addition or condensation?
The polymerization of polylactic acid is a condensation polymerization process. It occurs when the lactic acid monomers undergo a condensation reaction, releasing water as a byproduct to form the polymer chain.
When molecules of glucose and fructose combine to form sucrose What reaction allows the monomers to form polymers?
The reaction that allows glucose and fructose to combine and form sucrose is called a condensation reaction. In this reaction, a water molecule is removed as the two monomers bond together to form a polymer.
A very large organic molecule made up of chains of smaller molecules is called?
condensation
What is concentration polymerization?
Concentration polymerization is a process where monomers are polymerized in a concentrated solution or melt, without the presence of a solvent. This method is preferred for high molecular weight polymers with controlled polymerization conditions. It allows for better control of polymerization kinetics and improved product purity.
What is condensation polymerisation?
Condensation polymerisation is when two molecules of the same substance (monomer) react together to form polymer chain (like polythene) and eliminate a smaller (usually water) molecule. For example, Nylon-6 is prepared by using condensation polymerisation of ε-Caprolactum
How does a polymer forms?
A polymer consists of repeated, linked units. The units may be identical or structurally related to each other. Monomers link to form polymers through a chemical reaction called a condensation reaction.

When synthesizing a polymer a condensation reaction is formed by the joining of monomers?
Yes, in condensation polymerization, monomers react to form a polymer with the elimination of a small molecule such as water. This reaction continues until all the monomers have reacted or until a termination reaction stops the process.
What kind of molecule is a polymer?
A polymer molecule is a macromolecule.
What type of chemical reaction takes place with a monomer plus monomer and the product is polymer plus water?
This is a condensation polymerization.
What is the monomers and polymers of lipids?
Lipids do not have monomers and they themselves are the polymer
