This is a valid statement, however it requires a little mind bending. Large organic molecules essentially are linked polymers to create a monomer. However, traditionally monomers are considered to be molecules that link easily in a chain and polymers are the chain, so in that way, this statement could be considered incorrect.

Does cellulose have branched chains?
Cellulose is a polymer of 3000-5000 non-branched molecules of glucose.
What are huge molecules made up of many smaller organic molecules called?
This compound is called a polymer.
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.
Explain why proteins are considered polymers but lipids are not?
Proteins are made of amino acid chains. The repitition closely resembles the repeating unit, the monomer, from polymers. Lipids are made of trigyclerides and fatty acids, much smaller molecules than the protein, which is a macromolecule.
What are starch molecules made of?
Starch is made of Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen.Starch is made of glucose mainly and this is why it is referred to as a polymer of glucose. It has several units of glucose that are linked together.
What very large organic compound made up of chains of smaller molecules?
A very large organic compound made up of chains of smaller molecules is a polymer.
A very large organic molecule made up of chains of smaller molecules is called?
condensation
Cellulose type of carbohydrate?
Polysaccharide: polymer with long repeating chains made of glucose molecules
Long chain-like molecule made of repeating units?
Molecules consisting of chains of repeating units are called polymers. Polymers are made up of smaller molecules that join to form these larger molecules. Examples of polymers include starch and nylon.
Are all polymers made of chains smaller molecules?
Yes. That is why they are called polymers. The prefix "poly-" means many. A polymer is made from many monomers.
Polymer made up of chains of amino acids?
Polymer made up of chains of amino acids, also called a polypeptide?
Large molecules made of carbon and hydrogen atoms?
This type of molecule is called macromolecule.
What is organic compounds made of long chains of smaller molecules joined together to make large molecules?
polymers
What are large molecules made up of smaller molecules?
The answer is polymer. Could also be referring to Macromolecule
Does cellulose have branched chains?
Cellulose is a polymer of 3000-5000 non-branched molecules of glucose.
What are huge molecules made up of many smaller organic molecules called?
This compound is called a polymer.
Giant organic molecule made of small molecules linked together?
No, it is one molecule.However some large organic molecules (i.e. polymers) are formed from small organic molecules (i.e. monomers) that bond together into long chains, forming one new large molecule. The small molecules no longer exist as individual molecules after bonding into the large molecule.
