Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what is the definition of a polymer?
A
large molecules made from hydrolysing 3 or more identical or similar monomers together.
B
polysaccharides, polypeptides, polynucleotides.
C
small identical or similar molecules which can be condensed to make larger molecules.
D
large molecules made from condensing 3 or more identical or similar monomers together.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -polymerization, any process in which relatively small molecules, called monomers, combine chemically to produce a very large chainlike or network molecule, called a polymer. The monomer molecules may be all alike, or they may represent two, three, or more different compounds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Copolymers. When two or more types of monomers undergo addition polymerization, the resulting polymer is an addition copolymer.

Detailed explanation-3: -A condensation polymer is a polymer formed by condensation reactions. Monomers of condensation polymers must contain two functional groups so that each monomer can link up with two other monomers. One type of condensation polymer is called a polyamide.

Detailed explanation-4: -Video Transcript. Okay, the proper term used to describe the polymer made by combining the line number of identical minimal monomers, is called natural polymers.

Detailed explanation-5: -A polymer is a molecule made up of repeating units. These units, called “monomers”, form a long molecular chain.
