Question

Monomers linked together to form a polymer could be described as beads in a multicolored necklace. Which one of the following statements about monomers is true with respect to the above analogy

Answer 1

Monomers in a polymer could be linked in various ways.

Answer 2

that is A

Answer 3

B .Monomers in a polymer are of different types.

Answer 4

c.Monomers in a polymer look different but are structurally similar.

Answer 5

I think A would be more appropriate. Monomers are the repeating units in a polymer. SO they look the same MOST OF THE TIME.

Answer 6

A is correct. Monomers within a polymer can be identical (e.g. as in polystyrene), or structurally similar (e.g. as in DNA). They can be linked in various ways - for instance, glycogen is a polymer of glucose, but not every glucose molecule within the polymer links the same way to adjacent glucose molecules. This is where glycogen gets its branched structure, instead of being just one long straight chain.
