Question

which of the following molecules are polymers?

a. monosaccharide
b. RNA
c. amino acid
d. ATP
e. lipid.
f. cellulose
g. dna
h. polypetide

Answer 1

Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating structural units (monomers) connected by covalent bonds. Based on the options you've provided, the following molecules are considered polymers:

b. RNA (ribonucleic acid) - a polymer of nucleotides.
f. cellulose - a polymer of glucose units.
g. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) - a polymer of nucleotides.
h. polypeptide - a polymer of amino acids.

The other options are not polymers:
a. monosaccharide - a simple sugar and not a polymer.
c. amino acid - a building block for proteins, but not a polymer on its own.
d. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - a nucleotide, but not a polymer.
e. lipid - a class of biomolecules that typically includes fats and oils, but they are not true polymers.

So, the polymers from your list are: **b, f, g, and h**.
