Is a lipid a monomer or a polymer if it is what are the monomer and polymer?
Lipids are not polymers. They are macromolecules but they are not polymers. Some lipids are called tryglycerides. These are made of one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acids. However, we cannot...
How are branched polymers different from linear polymers?
liner polymers are more circular but the branched polymers look like tree branches
What is a polymer how are monomers related to a polymer?
Polymers are any number of compounds consisting of millions of repeating units. Monomers are related because they're the building blocks of a polymer.
What reaction turns monomers into polymers?
Dehydration synthesis turns monomers into polymers.
Does breaking monomer cause polymers?
No. Monomers are the building blocks of Polymers. When a Polymer is broken (by Hydrolysis) you get monomers or a monomer and a shorter ploymer.
