Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets (the Kindle Fire, Fire HD, and Fire HDX) are compatible with Kindle Books (available to U.S. libraries only), but they offer more sophisticated web browsing capabilities than Kindle eReaders and can install OverDrive's app (available worldwide).
A polymer (/ËpÉlÉ¨mÉr/) (Greek poly- , many + -mer, parts) is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits.
4. What are monomers and polymers? In organic chemistry, a monomer is a molecule by itself. Monomer means âa single partâ. Some examples of organic monomers are a glucose molecule, a nucleotide, or an amino acid. Polymers are macromolecules built of two or more monomers. Polymer means âmany partsâ. Polymers are often long chains of monomers. For example, starch is a polymer. It is a long chain of glucose molecules. Proteins are polymers composed of chains of amino acids. DNA is a super- long polymer of nucleotides. Even small macromolecules like a dipeptide (two amino acids joined together) are polymers. 5. Explain the chemical reaction for building a polymer from a set of monomers.
