Monomer

The amide group in NVP is highly polar, which confirms it’s hydrophilic. NVP has been copolymerized with various monomers because the amide group has high affinity for many large and small molecules that are known to be good hydrogen-bond acceptors (Jin et al. 2013; Santanakrishnan et al. 2012; Arosio et al. 2011). NVP has been copolymerized with various siloxane derivatives monomers such as vinyl triethoxy silane (Gatica et al. 2003), vinyl trimethoxy silane, vinyl trimethyl silane (Gatica et…

Macromolecules Everything on Earth is made of carbon. Due to this complex molecules are formed. These complex molecules are macromolecules. Macromolecules are polymers, formed by dehydration synthesis. Dehydration Synthesis is when monomers are combines and water is removed. There are four types of macromolecules, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Carbohydrates are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. With a structural components such as glucose and sugar.…

smaller molecules are known as monomers. These similar or identical monomers are covalently bonded together to create a large polymer molecule. Monomers, or base units are bonded together to create larger molecules via dehydration. This involves the removal of a water molecule at the bonding site. The larger molecule can be broken down by the reverse process, hydrolysis. This occurs when water is added to break the covalent bonds created during dehydration. The monomer unit for carbohydrates…

because they are large and are composed of thousands of atoms. Each organic molecule consists of a monomer and is created with certain elements. Without these vital organic molecules the cell would not function properly and the cell would not be able to achieve essential processes that helps the survival of the cell. Macromolecules help sustain life.…

composed of a variety of different organic materials, most of which include carbon. The building blocks of polymers, called monomers,…

(2 or more sugars). The biological components are composed of starches, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Starches consisit entirely of glucose monomers and are joined by glycosidic linkages, only found in plants. Lipids are a large group of biological molecules that…

nucleic acids, and proteins. Carbon is the primary component of the four macromolecules. Carbon's molecular structure allows it to bond in many different ways and with many different elements. A Monomer is an atom or small molecule that may bind chemically to other monomers to form a Polymer Different monomers make up a polymer. Polymers combine to make a molecule, and molecules combine to make macromolecules. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are molecular compounds made from just three elements:…

Polypropylene Chemical Formula: (C3H6)n Polypropylene is a polymer* with a crystalline structure. - For the crystalline region, many monomer propylene will bond together covalently to form this rigid linear structure. Formation of polymer side chains (crystalline region) (n = controlled chain length of monomers) For the diagram above, the blue lines represent the propylene monomers that are bonded tightly and orderly…

Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O). A monosaccharide is the monomer sub unit of carbohydrates and can be joined together through a condensation reaction to form a glycosidic bond between the two monomers which is known as a disaccharide. The above diagram shows a condensation reaction taking place. There is a reaction between two monomer sub units, in this case α-glucose and ethanol, which involves the linking of the two monomers to create a glycosidic bond and a water molecule, is…

Macromolecules Macromolecules are complex carbon based molecules that all have different functions and monomers, there are four different groups of macromolecules that include, Nucleic Acids, Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Lipids. Carbohydrates are polymers made from monosaccharides, which are simple sugars like glucose and fructose, these are used as a good source of energy. Monosaccharides, the monomer of carbohydrates, are just one sugar unit, they are the simplest form of carbohydrates, but…
