Slugs and snails love sweet things, like your garden vegetables and flowers. They climb over the edge of the bottle or dish, fall in and drown. It works very well to control the slugs and snails around your plants. You do not need to use beer. Soda pop, fruit juices or even sugar water works equally well.
These polymers are composed of different monomers and serve different functions. 1  Carbohydrates-composed of sugar monomers and necessary for energy storage. 2  Lipids-include fats, phospholipids and steroids. 3  Lipids help to store energy, cushion and protect organs, insulate the body and form cell membranes.
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.
