The monomer units of DNA are nucleotides, and the polymer is known as a "polynucleotide." Each nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), a nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar, and a phosphate group.
DNA
A nucleotide is a single structural unit of DNA. If two or more nucleotides are combined together by a polymerase enzyme, the resulting molecule is a polymer. RNA is also composed of nucleotides and can be formed into polymers.
Polymer: DNA, Monomer: nucleotides Polymer: Proteins, Monomer: amino acids Polymer: Polysaccharides, Monomer: monosaccharides
DNA constantly undergoes changes. It interacts with proteins that are able to replicate and transcribe it to generate a copy of RNA. Inactive sites are changed to active sites and active sites are silenced. DNA can therefore be considered an active polymer
yes
DNA is a polymer
DNA is the only polymer in that list. The other 3 options are all individual subunits that could be made into a polymer. Amino acids are the monomers (individual subunits) that up DNA and RNA
DNA
means it's an enzyme - so it catalyzes a chemical reaction polymer- means it catalyzes the formation of a polymer DNA- means the polymer whose formation it catalyzes is DNA - DNA is a polynucleotide (a polymer of nucleotides, a million nucleotides strung together)
An organic polymer.
A nucleotide is a single structural unit of DNA. If two or more nucleotides are combined together by a polymerase enzyme, the resulting molecule is a polymer. RNA is also composed of nucleotides and can be formed into polymers.
DNA is a polymer because it is made of up of monomers of nucleotides that differ from each other by their bases. (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine.)

a nucleic acid. Deoxyribonucleic Acid = DNA DNA is a type of carbon-compound known as a nucleic acid. It is a polymer, made up of many monomers called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three compounds which are 1) five carbon sugar called deoxyribose, 2) a phosphate group, and 3) a nitrogenous.
