Why are proteins and carbohydrates polymers-?

It depends on the context. Colloquially, proteins and carbohydrates mean the polymers (polypeptides and polysaccharides) because there is no need to address the monomers - we eat the polymers. However, while studying Biochemistry, it is not sufficient to say just protein or carbohydrate. You would need to specify if your talking about a monomer or a polymer and what type.


What monomers may be bonded together to form polymers?

Monomers are small molecules that can bond together to form polymers. Examples of monomers include amino acids for proteins, nucleotides for nucleic acids, glucose for carbohydrates, and ethylene for polyethylene.


Large organic molecules that are synthesized from multiple subunits are?

Molecules that are synthesised from multiple subunits are known as polymers. The subunits are known as monomers. An example of a polymer is a protein, which is made up of amino acid subunits (monomers). A large organic molecule, usually created by polymerisation of monomers is known as a macromolecule. This includes nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates.


Is a biomolecule that is composed of many monomers linked together?

Yes, a biomolecule that is composed of many monomers linked together is called a polymer. Polymers can be composed of various types of monomers, such as amino acids in proteins, nucleotides in nucleic acids, or sugars in carbohydrates. Examples of biomolecules that are polymers include proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and polysaccharides.


What monomers and polymers are examples of carbohydrates?

A monomer carbohydrate, which is a monosaccharide, would be something like glucose, one molecule of a simple sugar. A disaccharide would be sucrose. A polymer carbohydrate, or polysaccharide, would be any starch, which is chains of monosaccharides.

Macromolecule formed when monomers are joined together?

A polymer is formed when monomers are joined together through chemical bonds. Polymeric macromolecules can have a wide range of functions and properties depending on the specific monomer units and how they are linked. Examples of polymers in nature include proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates.
