Monomers

"On Biochemical Macromolecules"

covers the study of biochemistry. Macromolecules are mostly polymers. Their shape is like a chain, which is made up of ________ . This ________ is called a monomer. Monomers are the basic elements for building macromolecules.

Biochemical substances are complex, and the polymerization of macromolecules is like a craftsman's construction. Monomers are used as materials and are superimposed according to specific regulations. Proteins are polymerized from monomers of amino acids and have thousands of forms. They are responsible for biological affairs, or enzymes for catalysis, or carriers for transportation. They have different functions and are indispensable. Nucleic acids are also polymers. Nucleotide monomers are connected, hiding genetic codes and controlling the process of life. Polysaccharides are monosaccharide monomers, energy storage and energy supply, and are also structural components of cells.

The formation of macromolecules and the polymerization of monomers have their own laws. Or through the reaction of dehydration and condensation, the monomers are bonded and connected, and then polymerized into long chains. The length of the chain and the order of the monomers are all related to the performance and performance of the macromolecules.

From this perspective, monomers are to macromolecules, just like masonry is to Guangsha, and the weight of the foundation is self-evident. The mystery of biochemistry can be seen here.
