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.

Macromolecule formed when monomers are joined together?

A polymer is formed when monomers are joined together through chemical bonds. Polymeric macromolecules can have a wide range of functions and properties depending on the specific monomer units and how they are linked. Examples of polymers in nature include proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates.

In polymerization complex molecules are formed by joining together of what?

In polymerization, complex molecules are formed by the joining together of smaller molecules called monomers. Monomers combine through chemical reactions to form long chains known as polymers. This process can be initiated by heat, light, or chemical catalysts.

What is a macromolecule made from carefully folded strings of amino acids?

Amino acids "join together" to form polypeptides. The amino acids are covalently bonded together via a condensation reaction to form a peptide bond. A chain of the amino acids bonded together is known as the polypeptide. A protein is made up of one or more polypeptides.


What is the comparison in a polymer and a monomer?

Linking bonds, most often dehydration reactions, where atoms/molecules are removed from certain ends of the monomers, forming an H2O molecule (water) and the monomers then join up. However, that is a general formula.

What is the name of the reactions that join monomers together to form polymers?

Polymerization reactions are the reactions that join monomers together to form polymers. These reactions involve the bonding of monomers through the formation of covalent bonds to create a larger molecule.
