What is the process called by which macromecules are formed?

Macromolecules are simply large molecules, such as protein, sugar and fat. They areoften formed by removing H from one atom and OH from the other; The H and the OH combine to form water. Smaller molecules (monomers) are joined to build macromolecules by the removal of water. more information can be found by clicking on the link below == == == ==


What do condensation polymers and addition polymers have in common?

Both condensation polymers and addition polymers are formed through polymerization, a process in which monomers are combined to form larger polymer chains. Additionally, both types of polymers can have high molecular weights and are used in a wide variety of applications.


What is an monomers of a nucleic acids?

Nucleotides are the monomers. More specifically, the monomers are: Adenine Guanine Cytosine Thymine


What is macromolecule formed when monomers join together?

AnswerWell, monomers of what? If it is monomers of a sugar than it would be a monosaccharide, and when joined a disaccharide. If it is just a monomer in the general term, it when joined it would be a dimer. You see mono in the beginning of the word means 1, while di means 2. If even more monomers were joined it would be tri and tetra and on and on. However anything more than two can be called a polymer, poly meaning many. Other monomers of macromolecules include nucleotides, and amino acids.


What is a element with two or more nonmetals bonded together called?

an molecule. Though if there are two or more different nonmetals it would not be an element but a compound.

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.

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.


How are carbohydrates built up?

Like with all nutrients, monomers are joined together by condensation reactions. The carboxyl group and the hydroxyl group come together and produce a water molecule. The monomers are called monosaccharides, two monomers are called disaccharides, and more than two monomers are called polysaccharides.

What is a sodium chloride molecule?

The term molecule is not adequate for sodium chloride because NaCl form large lattices. More exact is formula unit - NaCl.


What is the difference between monomers and isomers?

Monomers and isomers are completely different. Monomers are building blocks of polymers/macromolecules. For example, amino acids are the monomers of proteins and monosaccharides are monomers of carbohydrates. Isomers, on the other hand, are molecules with the same number of atoms in a compound, but different arrangements of bonds or shapes.
