What are the names for the monomers and polymers of nucleic acids?

monomer = amino acid
polymer = polypeptide (= polypeptide chain)
A monomer is one unit in a chain of repeating units. Amino acids are assembled in cells into chains called polypeptides.
A protein may consist of just one polypeptide, or more than one. For example, human growth hormone has only one chain, but hemoglobin has four.

Why might fatty acids amino acids and nucleic acids increase the hydrogen ion concentration of solution?
Did you notice that all three of the names have "acid" in them? Perhaps you should ponder what that word means.
Name 2 basic kinds of nucleic acids what sugar does each contain?
Two kinds of nucleic acids are:-RNA/ Ribonucleic Acid-DNA/ Deoxyribonucleic AcidAs there names, RNA contain the sugar ribose and DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose
Which organic compound contains DNA?
DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids - chains of nucleotides. This is evident from their names (deoxyribonucleic acid - DNA, and ribonucleic acid - RNA).
Why do teflon and kevlar have capital letters when other polymers do not?
They are trade names.
How are the formulas for acids determined?
Use the rules for writing the names of acids in reverse to write the foemulas for acids.
What are the names of the four different variations of these monomers?
The four different types of monomers consist of: 1. Proteins 2. Carbohydrates 3. lipids 4. nucleic acids
What are the names of monomers and polymers of lipids?
the scientific name is hypobinkofel but in our terminology it is thisisfakeidiot cheers ;)
What names are given to monomers of proteins?
The monomers of protein are amino acids. There are 20 common amino acids. Some of the most common are Alanine, Glycine and Leucine.

What are four names of macromolecules?
Macromolecules are very large molecules. The term is used for the four biopolymers nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. It is also used to describe non-polymeric molecules - such as macrocycles.

Names of acids found in nucleus of a cell?
Osmosis.. That is wrong because osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high concentration to low concentration. The name of the acids in the nucleus of a cell is the nucleic acids.

What are two other names for macromolecules?
All enzymes are macromolecules called proteins.
Why do teflon and kevlar have capital letters when other polymers do not?
They are trade names.
What are the names of all acids that begin with the letter a?
amino acids
