The four main types of polymers and their respective monomers are:
- Proteins - made up of amino acids.
- Nucleic Acids - composed of nucleotides.
- Carbohydrates - formed from monosaccharides (simple sugars).
- Polymers of Lipids - while lipids are not true polymers, they are often made from fatty acids and glycerol.
Each of these monomers links together to form the larger polymer structures.
What else can I help you with?
Does breaking monomer cause polymers?
NO!!! You do NOT break monomers. However, monmers have a carbon/carbon double bond. One bond of this double bond breaks to give two 'loose ends'. These loose ends then combine with the loose ends of another mon0mers to form a polymer. Monomer + monomer = polymer. H2C=CH2 + H2C=CH2 = -[-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-]-(n) H2C=CHCl + H2C=CHCl = -[-CH2-CHCl-CH2-CHCl-]-(n) These polymers are named 'polyethylene/polychloroethen (polythene / PVC). NB THere are many different polymers. NB The product polymer is normally written is this way, because in polymerisation thousands if not millions of monomer molecules combine. The 'n' stands for any number in the chain .
A large molecule synthesized from many monomers is called a what?
they are called polymers
What are the polymers that are produced in factories called?
Polymers.
What are large molecules made up of smaller molecules?
The answer is polymer. Could also be referring to Macromolecule
Does protein has polymers with many subunits?
Proteins are not polymers.
Are polymers are made from smaller units called monmers?
Yes they are.
What is the name fora molecule that ios made of twoo sugar monmers bonded together?
disacharide

What are the 4 major biological polymers?
1. its called a book 2. should of took notes 3. probably gonna fail your next test 4.Carbohydrates
What is meant by water soluble polymers?
Water soluble polymers are polymers that will dissolve in water.
A large molecule synthesized from many monomers is called a what?
they are called polymers
What are the polymers that are produced in factories called?
Polymers.
What are the polymers of carbohydrate's?
The polymers of carbohydrates are polysaccharide.
Name 4 polymers that are digested in the small intestine?
proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids.
What are large molecules made up of smaller molecules?
The answer is polymer. Could also be referring to Macromolecule
Why are synthetic polymers often used in place of natural material?
Synthetic polymers are cheaper than natural polymers. Natural polymers are also less plentiful.
Are compounds that have repeating subunits?
Yes, these are the polymers.
