Why is carbon able to form macromolecules?
It can form four bonds. It is small and can form long chains
What species form long chains and their cells form a helix?
Desmidium swatzii
How are polypeptides made?
peptones and peptides together form long chains in the form of polypeptides.
What is correct about fatty acids?
They form long chains that store energy.
Does silicon form compounds made of long chains of atoms?
Yes, silicon can form compounds with long chains of atoms called polysilicones or silicones. These compounds are known for their flexibility, thermal stability, and water repellent properties. Silicon-oxygen chains can also form in silicates, which are common minerals in the Earth's crust.
What reaction links monomeric units together to form long chains?
polymerization
What properties of carbon explain carbons ability to form different large and complex structures?
one carbon atom can bond to another which gives carbon the ability to form chains that are almost unlimited in length
What species form long chains and their cell form a helix?
Desmidium swatzii
What does long chains of amino acids connected to each other by a peptide bond form?
DNA
How can carbon build large macromolecules and ring structures?
Because it is small in volume. It can form four bonds. It can form long chains
Why are Carbon atoms able to form long chains while oxygen atoms cannot?
Carbon atoms are able to form long chains because they can bond to each other through strong covalent bonds, forming stable structures. Oxygen, on the other hand, is more electronegative and tends to form more stable molecules by bonding with other elements like carbon, rather than forming long chains with itself.
Is it true when molecules of sugar join together to form long chains they are called starches or simple carbohydrates?
no
