19 molecules of water are needed to completely hydrolyze a polymer that is 20 monomers long. Each monomer requires one water molecule to break the bond between it and the next monomer in the polymer chain, except for the last monomer which does not require a water molecule.

Does a monomer still have the same chemical properties as a polymer?

No, a monomer does not have the same chemical properties as a polymer. Monomers are small molecules that can react to form polymers, which are larger molecules composed of repeating units of monomers. The properties of a polymer can be quite different from those of its constituent monomers.


If a cell needed to turn a polysaccharide into monosaccharides it would need to perform what?

It needs to hydrolyze (perform hydrolysis on) the polymer into monomers with an enzyme.


How are the molecules of polymers different from the molecules of other compounds?

A polymer is a long chain of small molecules (monomers).


Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?

These are polymers, which are made by linking monomers together through chemical bonds. This joining process is called polymerization, and it can result in a wide variety of complex and diverse molecules with unique properties and functions.


What molecules are monomers of the polymers studied?

Do a monomer or polymer contain more molecules?

a monomer Polymers are composed of monomers.


What is the comparison in a polymer and a monomer?

Linking bonds, most often dehydration reactions, where atoms/molecules are removed from certain ends of the monomers, forming an H2O molecule (water) and the monomers then join up. However, that is a general formula.


What to many monomers make up when they are linked together?

When many monomers are linked together, they form a polymer. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers, which are attached together through chemical bonds. This process is known as polymerization.


Starch consists of smaller units called?

Glucose. Starch is a polymer made of glucose monomers.


In polymerization complex molecules are formed by joining together of what?

In polymerization, complex molecules are formed by the joining together of smaller molecules called monomers. Monomers combine through chemical reactions to form long chains known as polymers. This process can be initiated by heat, light, or chemical catalysts.


when monomers are joined together what do they form?

Monomers joined together make a polymer.
