Cause and effect is when an event happens, there is a cause or reason why it happened. There is a relationship between a cause and effect. The effect is what happened as a result of the cause. Learning cause and effect helps students understand story and situation structure. Our cause and effect worksheets may be used for a variety of grade levels.
Polymers are substances whose molecules have high molar masses and are composed of a large number of repeating units. There are both naturally occurring and synthetic polymers. Among naturally occurring polymers are proteins, starches, cellulose, and latex.
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.
