Macromolecules Considered Polymers
"On what kind of macromolecules can be regarded as polymers"
The structure of all things has its own origin. In the field of chemistry, the genera of macromolecules can be regarded as polymers. Polymers, which are connected by covalent bonds to form a giant chain structure.
The category of macromolecules has various categories. Among them, proteins are connected by amino acids through peptide bonds and strung together as long chains. This category can be regarded as polymers. The number and order of amino acids are different, resulting in different shapes and energies of proteins.
There are also nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid. It is formed by the polymerization of nucleotides, and the nucleotides are linked by phosphate diester bonds to form a long chain. This is also a macromolecule that can be regarded as a polymer.
Among carbohydrates, polysaccharides also belong to this category. Such as starch, cellulose, etc., are polymerized by monosaccharides through glycosidic bonds to form long chains or branch structures, which have unique properties and uses, and are also a genus of polymers.
Although oil is a macromolecule, it is not polymerized into a chain-like structure by covalent bonds, so it is not regarded as a polymer.
First of all, proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, and other macromolecules can be regarded as polymers due to their characteristics of covalent polymerization of small molecules into chains, which are of crucial significance in the transportation of life and the composition of matter.
