Polymers that contain sugar can be used as biodegradable materials, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics. They can also be used in drug delivery systems and tissue engineering due to their biocompatibility. Additionally, sugar-containing polymers can act as adhesives in various applications.
Nucleic acid, which contains a pentose (either deoxyribose or ribose), phosphate group, and a nitrogen base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine/uracil). In addition, there is a covalent bond between the phosphate group and the pentose, and a hydrogen bond between the complementary bases.
Polymers of sugars form complex carbohydrates, such as starch and cellulose in plants, and glycogen in animals. These long chains of sugar molecules serve as energy storage molecules or structural components in cells and tissues.
Yes, nucleic acids are polymers made up of repeating units called nucleotides. RNA and DNA are examples of nucleic acids that contain long chains of nucleotide monomers.
No, sugar alcohol does not contain any ethanol or traditional alcohol. It is a type of sweetener that is often used as a sugar substitute in food and beverages.
No, sugar alcohol does not contain any actual alcohol. Sugar alcohols are a type of sweetener commonly used in sugar-free and low-calorie foods and drinks. They are called sugar alcohols because their chemical structure resembles both sugar and alcohol, but they do not contain ethanol, the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages.
Elements do not contain polymers. It is the other way around. Organic polymers contain elements. These are usually C, O, H, N, Halogens and some others.
No, the monomers in sugar polymers and starches are both simple sugar molecules.There are several classes of carbohydrates, all composed of simple sugar monomers:simple sugar molecules, the monomers themselves.sugar dimers, two monomers.complex sugars, short sugar polymers larger than dimers.starches, long sugar polymers with all monomers in same orientation. easily digested by animals.celluloses, long sugar polymers with monomers alternating in orientation. indigestible by animals. only bacteria & fungi can digest these.
The ultimate source of natural sugar based polymers are plants. Plants make sugar (glucose) by photosynthesis. The glucose is then used to make polymers such as starch (amylose and amylopectin) and cellulose. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysaccharide
DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid RNA: ribonucleic acid Both DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides. They both contain a sugar-phosphate backbone (deoxyribose sugar in DNA, ribose sugar in RNA) and they both contain A, G, and C nitrogenous bases (additionally, T in DNA and U in RNA).
No, nucleic acids do not contain amino acids. Nucleic acids are polymers made up of nucleotides, which consist of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Yes, ketchup does contain sugar.
No, Nespresso capsules do not contain sugar.
Synthetic polymers contain linkages which are present in natural polymers also , for example nylon (a synthetic polymer) contains pep-tide (also called amide) linkage and proteins also contain the same linkage .. considering that protein is a naturally occurring polymer Btw , not sure if this is the only similarity .. :D

No, Nespresso pods do not contain sugar.
yes it does
