Which natural polymer contains 3000 or more glucose monomers?
cellulose
How are plastics similar to polysaccharides?
As you stated, plastics are polymers, meaning they are made up of several smaller units called monomers. An example of this is a common material known as PVC. This stands for polyvinyl chloride, which is a polymer of vinyl chloride. Likewise, polysaccharides are also polymers, made up of smaller units, again called monomers. An example of this is a carbohydrate, which is made up of smaller sugars, such as glucose. So the difference between plastics and polysaccharides is that they are made up of different monomers. For plastics the monomer is an organic molecule, and for polysaccharides the monomer is a single saccharide, also known as a simple sugar.
What kind of sugar can be found in wild rice?
Wild rice contains natural sugars such as sucrose, glucose, and fructose.
Is honey a natural sugar?
No. Honey is a natural mixture which contains sugars.
What happens to ethene makes polyethene?
It is made by a process called polymerization, this is where they take lots of monomers (in this case ethane) and combine them together using an addition reaction. This is only possible in monomer where there is a double bond as to add them the double bond has to break for there to be enough room on the carbon for the new monomer. this process is done millions of times and is finally makes polythene which is used to make bin liners and poly bags.

Is corn starch a monomer?
No. Cornstarch is a natural polysaccharide. The monomer of cornstarch is glucose.
Starch a natural polymer is composed of what?
glucose monomers
Is oxygen a monomer?
No, oxygen is generally found as O2 a dimer (although it is normally called diatomic). Rarely it is found as ozone, O3, a triatomic molecule.

What is a protein and what is the monomer that makes up proteins?
A protein is a natural polymer made up of amino acid monomers joined together by peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a covalent bond formed by a carbon molecule and a nitrogen molecule.
What and the difference between disaccharides and polysaccharide?
Monosaccharides and DisaccharidesIn the category of nutrients, there are monomers and polymers. Monomers are the "building blocks" of large macromolecules, or any molecule chain created through condensation reactions. These are the polymers, three or more monomers bonded together. In the category of carbohydrates, there are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosacchaides, and polysaccharides. Just from the prefixes, you can tell that the monosaccharides are monomers, the disaccharides are two bonded monomers (monosaccharides) and oligosacchaides and polysaccharides are made up of many monomers (monosaccharides).The monosaccharides are just a single carbon ring (in the natural aqueous environment of an organism). The monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. The disaccharides are two carbon rings bonded together by a glycosidic linkage in a condensation (dehydration) reaction, which removes a molecule of water. Disaccharides include maltose (glucose + glucose), lactose (glucose + galactose), sucrose (glucose + fructose), and more.When we consume food, we are taking in the large polysacchaides such as starch and smaller molecules such as maltose. We take these long molecules and digest them - break up their glycosidic linkages until they are monosaccharides (monomers) that we can absorb throughout out alimentary canal (usually in small intestine).A monosaccharide is one saccharide (or sugar) molecule. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose.A disaccharide is two saccharides (sugars) bonded together through a dehydration reaction. An example of a disaccharide is maltose which is two glucose linked together.A polysaccharide is typically ten or more saccharides bonded together. Cellulose is an example of a polysaccharide, which is ten or more glucose linked together.
What are natural organic polymers whose monomers are amino acids?
proteins
What type of molecule is defined as a chain of repeating copies of smaller molecules?
A polymer is a type of molecule that is defined as a chain of repeating copies of smaller molecules called monomers. Polymers can be natural or synthetic and have a wide range of properties and uses. Examples of polymers include plastics, proteins, and DNA.
If natural rubber is a natural polymer then I would think coal is also a natural polymer?
no because it does not formed by the reaction of small monomeric units called monomer
