What else can I help you with?
when monomers are joined together what do they form?
Monomers joined together make a polymer.
What forms compounds made of long chains of atoms?
Polymers are compounds made of long chains of atoms, repeating units called monomers. These long chains can be natural or synthetic and have diverse properties depending on the type of monomers and the arrangement of the chains. Examples of polymers include plastics, proteins, and DNA.
What is the monomers and polymers of lipids?
Lipids do not have monomers and they themselves are the polymer
What type of bond joins monomers in a primary structure?
Peptide bonds join the monomers in a protein's primary structure.
What is the difference between monomers and isomers?
Monomers and isomers are completely different. Monomers are building blocks of polymers/macromolecules. For example, amino acids are the monomers of proteins and monosaccharides are monomers of carbohydrates. Isomers, on the other hand, are molecules with the same number of atoms in a compound, but different arrangements of bonds or shapes.
Is enzymes monomers or polymers?
Enzymes are a type of protein, which are amino acid polymers.
when monomers are joined together what do they form?
Monomers joined together make a polymer.
Are polyols the same as vinyl polymers?
No they are not. Polyols are polyalcohols. Vinyl polymers are polymers of monomers of the type CH2=CHX .
What molecules are monomers of the polymers studied?
depending on what type of polymer you want to study

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.
How are polymers broken-down to monomers?
It certainly depends on what type of polymer you are speaking. For peptide polymers the reaction for monomerization is hydrolysis. This is the addition of water in combination with the cleavage of the peptide bond.
Which of the major types of biological molecules does NOT consist of monomers and polymers?
The major type of biological molecules that does not consist of monomers and polymers are Lipids. Although triglycerides are created by the combination of similar molecules, others, steroids, are not.
Why are polymers formed?
Polymers are the result of carbon-based covalent molecules forming long chains. The word should by now be unsurprising. Poly meaning many and mer, as in isomer, is a unit, thus many units. The formation of polymers (polymerisation) is the subject of the following types of reactions.
