Polymers are long molecules with structure. They can be made from small molecules called , which join together in a chain, and the type affects what kind of polymer is produced. polymers are formed from alkenes; for example, is used to form poly(ethene) and propene is used to form . 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 .
Deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as , is a biological polymer. Its monomers are called and have the symbols A, C, G and . It contains all of the information required for life. Other biological polymers include starch and , which are both polymers with sugar monomers.
Polypeptides are polymers formed from . They can be combined together to form the biological molecules .
