  • Understanding Polymers: Building Blocks of Large Molecules
    Large molecules made up of small repeating units are called polymers.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Monomers: The small, repeating units that make up polymers.

    * Polymers: The large molecules formed by the bonding of many monomers.

    Here are some examples of polymers:

    * Proteins: Made up of amino acid monomers.

    * Carbohydrates: Made up of sugar monomers (like glucose).

    * DNA and RNA: Made up of nucleotide monomers.

    * Plastics: Made up of various monomers depending on the type of plastic.
