Giant organic molecule made of small molecules linked together?
No, it is one molecule.However some large organic molecules (i.e. polymers) are formed from small organic molecules (i.e. monomers) that bond together into long chains, forming one new large molecule. The small molecules no longer exist as individual molecules after bonding into the large molecule.
What moves faster large molecules or small molecules?
given the same amount of kinetic energy a smaller molecule would have a high velocity according to k=mv^2
Give the meaning of segmental motion in polymer?
Segmental motion in polymers refers to the movement of small chain segments, that takes place above the glass transition temperature... In this case individual molecules don't move, rather they move collectively as small segments.
What is the process by which chemical reactions occur that break down food molecules into energy to be used by the organism?
Breaking down of macromolecules into small particles is called a catabolic process. In any catabolic process there is a release of energy. Anabolic reaction combines small particles into a macro molecule and energy is conserved in such a process.
What is the name of the reaction that breaks polymers apart?
Macromolecules are linked with covalent bonds between its monomers. For example proteins are bonded with peptide bonds. Hydrolysis of these bonds will break them to small peptides and ultimately forms amino acids. For any other macromolecules the same hydrolysis is a key to separate them. This reaction is catalysed by enzymes.
What is a small molecule that forms a link in polymer chains?
a monomer
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as what?
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as a polymer.
Can a molecule have billions of atoms?
Technically yes. It would have to be an extremely complex molecule with many chains of atoms. Usually a molecule remains small so that it can broken down and put back together easily. So a polymer of millions of molecules (which themselves contain many atoms) would qualify.
A giant organic molecule made of small molecules linked together?
A polymer
What is a large molecule that is formed by more than five monomer or small units?
A polymer.
Are momomers large moecules?
No. A monomer is a small molecule that may bind chemically to other monomers to form a polymer. It is the polymer that is the large molicule.

What mer oligo stands for?
from wikipedia: Mer - term for Monomer, a small molecule in polymer chemistry.
A monomer is a single small molecule and a polymer is made of many small molecules How many small molecules are joined to form a dimer?
11
Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer). For more in formation about polymers, starting at the very beginning, see: http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/wiap.htm
What could you call any long molecule that contains repeating units of small molecules connected in a chain?
A polymer.
What are monomer's?
A monomer (from Greek mono "one" and meros "part") is a molecule that may bind chemically to other molecules to form a polymer.
