What are polymers made from chemicals?

A polymer (a chemical term) is any material that is made up of repeating linked units (monomers). An example of a polymer is starch. It is made from linked units of Glucose (a sugar). Another example is plastics such as low density polyethylene made from linking repeating ethylene (a gas) units. Maybe a more familar example that is used around the house is when you repair your car with fiberglass. The liquid that is used to bond the fiberglass to the car and itself is styene monomer. When the catalyst is added to the styrene monomomer you are starting a chemical reaction that joins the monomers into very long polymers that cross link and form a hard polymer.


When monomers are linked they form molecules called?

DNA is made of small units called nucleotides. One nucleotide generally contains a phosphate group, a sugar (Deoxyribose), and nitrogen bases (Purines:Adenine, Guanine; and Pyrimidines: Cytosine, and Thymine)


What would biocheemists call the result of chaning many of these molecules together?

Biochemists would call the result of chaining many molecules together a polymer. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers. The process of linking monomers together is known as polymerization.


Explain the connection between monomers and polymers?

Monomers are single units while polymers are monomers linked together. So with polysaccharides being polymers or monomers linked together, then think of a single monomer of sugar such as maltose.


Which molecule is a synthetic polymer?

There are almost limitless numbers of monomers in use for polymer manufacture. If you look at the names of polymer types you will see that monomers must come from very many basic chemical families - polyesters are made from diacids and diols, polyolefines are made from alkenes, nylons are made from diacids and diamines, polyvinyls are made from substituted ethylenes, polyacrylics are made from substituted and pure acrylic acid (propenoic acid) etc. etc etc. Many polymers use mixed types of monomer. ethene is the answer dont read this wrong and long thing this person above wrote.

What is an example of a monomer and polymer pair?

Monomers are the starting units for making Polymers. For eg: Polyethylene is synthesized by addition polymerisation technique to form Polyethylene. Many monomers join together to form a large macromolecule called as polymer.


Is a protein polymer or monomer?

Definitely a polymer. Protein is made of many monomers of amino acids.


How are monomers and polymers diffrent?

The monomer is just the subunit that makes up the construction of many units of the polymer. M = monomer M-M-M-M = polymer ( units do not need to be the same )

How are monomer and polymer related to one and many?

A monomer is a single unit that can join together with other monomers to form a polymer. Think of a monomer as the "one" building block, and a polymer as the "many" units created by linking multiple monomers together through chemical bonds.

Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?

These are polymers, which are made by linking monomers together through chemical bonds. This joining process is called polymerization, and it can result in a wide variety of complex and diverse molecules with unique properties and functions.
