What class of biological molecule contains peptide bonds between the individual monomers?
Amino acids are joined by peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a covalent bond that forms between two amino acids when the carboxyl group (COOH) of one amino acid reacts with the amino group (NH2) of the other amino acid, resulting in a C-N bond, which is a peptide bond.

How many monomers make up an antibody molecule?
Four monomers. Each antibody contains 2 light chains and 2 heavy chains.
How many glucose monomers are there in a single starch molecule?
A single starch molecule contents few thousands glucose monomers in single molecule.
What is removed when joining the individual glucose monomers together?
When joining individual glucose monomers together to form a polysaccharide like starch or glycogen, a water molecule is removed in a condensation reaction to form a glycosidic bond.
What happens when two monomers combine?
When two monomers combine, they undergo a chemical reaction called polymerization, resulting in the formation of a larger molecule known as a polymer. During this process, a covalent bond forms between the monomers, often releasing a small molecule, such as water, in a reaction known as condensation. This combination increases the complexity and functionality of the resulting polymer, which can exhibit different physical and chemical properties compared to the individual monomers.
Does dehydration synthesis convert molecule to monomer?
No, dehydration synthesis joins monomers together to form a larger molecule by removing a water molecule. It is the opposite process of hydrolysis, which breaks down larger molecules into monomers by adding water.

What are called monomers?
Monomer is a single molecule.
Combining a molecule of glucose with a molecule of fructose to make a larger molecule of sucrose is an example of?
I hope this is what you are looking for! When you combine two monomers (an individual building block, e.g. a molecule of fructose) to make a polymer (the linked chain made of the monomers) you go through a process called dehydration reaction, or dehydration synthesis. In dehydration synthesis one molecule of water is taken out from the monomers which combines them together. An unlinked monomer (e.g. the molecule of fructose and glucose) will have a hydroxyl group at one end (-OH) and a hydrogen atom at the other end (-H). When you take out the water (H20) you form a covalent bond between the end of one monomer, and the beginning of the next - linking the two monomers
Does dehydration synthesis convert molecule to monomer?
No, dehydration synthesis joins monomers together to form a larger molecule by removing a water molecule. It is the opposite process of hydrolysis, which breaks down larger molecules into monomers by adding water.
How many glycerol molecules are in phospholipid?
For a Lpid molecule, it contain 1 glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acidmolecules but I do not think a Phospholipid molecule contain any glycerol molecules as they are replaced by the phosphate group.
What are two examples of lipid monomers?
For a triglyceride, the monomers would be 1 glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acids.
What molecule would be attached to other monomers by a peptide bond?
Amino acids are the monomers that are attached to one another by peptide bonds to form a protein molecule.
What are the individual subunit of larger organic molecules called?
The individual subunits of larger organic molecules are called monomers. Monomers can join together through chemical bonds to form polymers, which are larger molecules made up of repeating units of monomers.
