a combining form representing idea, in compound words: ideology. ideo-.
Monomers of: Carbohydrates- Glucose Lipids- Fatty acids and glycerol Proteins- Amino acids Nucleic acids- Nucleotides Is an explanation really needed for this because it's really simple to understand?
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.
