A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as a polymer.
The sugar found in the backbone of DNA is the deoxyribose.
DNA is considered a polymer because it is made up of repeating units called nucleotides, which are linked together in a long chain. These nucleotides consist of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). The repetitive nature of these units forms a polymer structure.
No, unsaturated fat is not a polymer. It is a type of fat molecule that has double bonds in its carbon chain, making it different from polymers, which are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers.
Many organic polymers are chains of repeating elements. These include biopolymers such as starches, glycogen, cellulose (polysaccharide chains), DNA, RNA (nucleotide chains with constant backbone but different nitrogenous bases at each position) and protein, (polypeptide chains with constant backbone but different substituent groups at each position), and other technically organic polymers such as PVC, Teflon, and Kevlar.
Yes, protein is a type of molecule made up of amino acids.
The sides of the DNA molecule are made up of repeating sugar-phosphate groups, not nitrogen bases. The nitrogen bases are arranged in the middle of the DNA molecule and form the rungs of the double helix structure.

They are called polysaccharides. They are made up of many monosaccharides
Polyethylene is a polymer of ethene. It is a macro molecule.
Silicon dioxide is a network solid, not a molecule. It forms a crystalline lattice structure made up of repeating units of silicon and oxygen atoms bonded together.
That is known as a molecule
A sugar molecule, known as sucrose, is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It has the molecular formula C12H22O11.
"Mono" means one and "poly" means many, and "mer" derives from a word that means parts, so a monomer is an atom or small molecule (one part) and a polymer is a large molecule with repeating structures (many parts).
Its a molecule because it is made up of 1 part Carbon(element) and 2 parts Oxygen(element). These elements combine to form a molecule
