which are long chains formed by the procces of polymerization
a. subunits
b. ethylenes
c. monomers******
d. DNA strands
i need help if i dont do good on this unit test ill get an f and my parents will be upset
well it was wrong thanks a bunch
But I think the question is poorly worded. Monomers make polymers. The question appears to asking for the names of long chains and that is polymer.
I've changed my mind. DNA strands are long chains formed by the process of polymerization. I believe DNA strands is the answer.
I agree. Not a good question, I disapprove of trick questions
You know your kind of a pretty cool dude bobpursley
I'm here to help! It seems like you're trying to identify the long chains formed by the process of polymerization. Let's break down the answer choices:
a. Subunits: Subunits refer to the smaller components that make up a larger molecule. While they may be involved in polymerization, they do not represent the long chains formed by this process.
b. Ethylenes: Ethylene is a hydrocarbon gas widely used in the industrial production of plastics. It is an example of a monomer, which can be used in the process of polymerization. However, it does not itself represent the long chains formed by polymerization.
c. Monomers: Monomers are the small molecules that chemically react together to form a polymer. During polymerization, monomers link together repeatedly to form long chains. Therefore, the correct answer is indeed option c, monomers.
d. DNA strands: DNA strands are sequences of nucleotides that make up the genetic code of living organisms. While DNA can be considered a form of polymer, it is not primarily formed through the process of polymerization.
To recap, the long chains formed by the process of polymerization are called polymers and are composed of repeating monomers. Therefore, the correct answer is c. monomers. Good luck with your unit test! Remember, studying and understanding the concepts will greatly help you perform better and alleviate any concerns your parents may have.
