SECTION 1(1.1)

Question 1

What is a monomer

Answer 1

Sub units for long chain called polymer

Question 2

What is the long chain made up of monomers called

Answer 2

Polymers

Question 3

How are monomers linked together

Answer 3

Polymerization

Question 4

What is a condensation reaction and how is it linked to monomers

Answer 4

Condensation is when a water is formed through a reaction. Every time a monomer is attached to another monomer a water is formed

Question 5

Polymers can be broken through which reaction. And how does it work

Answer 5

Hydrolysis- water molecules are used when breaking the bonds that link the sub-units of a polymer

Question 6

What is metabolism

Answer 6

All chemical processes that take place in living organisms

Question 7

Hydrogen bonding (key points)

Answer 7

Electrons not evenly distributed but tend to spend more time in 1 position. Molecule with uneven distribution of charge said to be polarised.

Question 8

How are hydrogen bonds strong

Answer 8

Individually each bond is weak but as there are many hydrogen bonds together they are strong

Question 9

What are different amounts of monomers together called

Answer 9

Mono-1
Di-2
Tri-3
Tetra-4
Penta-5
Hexa-6
Poly-many
