Polymers GapFill

Polymers are long molecules with  a repeatingan alternatingan irregulara complex structure. They can be made from small molecules called  monomerswateralkanesmixtures, which join together in a chain, and the type affects what kind of polymer is produced.  PrecipitationCondensationLongAddition polymers are formed from alkenes; for example,  ethanolethaneethanoic acidethene is used to form poly(ethene) and propene is used to form  poly(propane)poly(propanol)poly(propene)polypeptides.  CondensationAdditionSubstitutionEvaporation polymers are formed from subunits with two functional groups, like dialcohols and dicarboxylic acids. When the subunits join together, a small molecule such as water is  liquefiedaddedexchangedexpelled.

Deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as  RNADRADRNADNA, is a biological polymer. Its monomers are called  helicesnucleotidesamino acidssugars. It contains all of the information required for life. Other biological polymers include  ATPstarchglycinelipid and cellulose, which are both polymers with sugar monomers.

Polypeptides are polymers formed from  lipidsamino acidscellulosefatty acids. They can be combined together to form the biological molecules  carbohydratesproteinstriglyceridesfats.
