Collecting Zuni fetishes is a satisfying experience on so many levels. Not only are you able to enjoy the artistic value of a Zuni fetish, the beauty and exotic nature of many of the Zuni fetish carving materials is breathtaking.
Monomers are the building blocks of more complex molecules, called polymers. Polymers consist of repeating molecular units which usually are joined by covalent bonds. Here is a closer look at the chemistry of 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.he 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.
