A polymer is a large molecule that consists of repeating structural units called monomers. Polymers can be natural or synthetic and have a wide range of properties and uses. Examples of polymers include proteins, DNA, plastics, and rubber.
Natural polymers are biodegradable, meaning they can be broken down by bacteria and other organisms in the environment. This process helps to reduce the amount of natural polymers going to landfills. Synthetic polymers, on the other hand, are not easily biodegradable and can persist in the environment for a long time, contributing to landfill waste issues.
Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.
No, not all polymers are man-made. Some polymers can be found in nature, such as proteins, cellulose, and DNA. These natural polymers have unique properties and functions in living organisms.
Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units, while plastics are a type of polymer that can be molded into various shapes. Not all polymers are plastics, but all plastics are polymers. Plastics are a subset of polymers that have additional properties, such as being lightweight, durable, and easily molded.
Plastics, which are polymers plus some additives, are their main use.

When polymers are broken down into monomers, the body uses those monomers for a number of activities. Some of them include protein construction and respiration. The process of polymers breaking down to monomers is called hydrolysis.WRITEN BY: oneofthem:
Methanol is used- -in paint industry -In perfumery -In aviation Fuel (blending) -to produce formeldehyde -polymers
Water soluble polymers are polymers that will dissolve in water.
they are called polymers
Polymers.
The polymers of carbohydrates are polysaccharide.
Synthetic polymers are cheaper than natural polymers. Natural polymers are also less plentiful.
The answer is polymer. Could also be referring to Macromolecule
Proteins are not polymers.
