Detailed explanation-1: -Groups of Monomers and Polymers Proteins-polymers are known as polypeptides; monomers are amino acids. Nucleic Acids-polymers are DNA and RNA; monomers are nucleotides, which are in turn consist of a nitrogenous base, pentose sugar, and phosphate group.
Detailed explanation-2: -The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts. This type of reaction is known as dehydration synthesis, which means “to put together while losing water.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The name given for a long molecule consisting of many similar or identical monomers that are linked together is a polymer. The word polymer translates to, “many parts” which accurately describes the linking of many monomers to form the large polymer.
