    Polymers a large molecules made up of a chain of smaller molecules, known as monomers. The monomers that a polymer is made up of decide its structure and therefore it's function. These monomers are linked and coiled in a very specific manor giving the polymer a specific tertiary structure (an extensively coiled and linked polymer chain caused as a result of the formation of more bonds forming). This tertiary structure is crucial to the function of a polymer as it denotes the necessary shape of the complementary molecule. This is easier explained through an example.…

    b. This polymer is hydrophilic. Give a plausible reason for this behavior. Your explanation should be based on the molecular structure of the polymer, the molecular structure of water, and the interactions between molecules of these two substances. You should use terms such as polarity, polar bond, charge, interactions, attractions, repulsions or hydrogen bonds. However, you should use only those terms that apply to this situation.…

    The dehydration synthesis process is the process by which all organic compounds are bonded. The dehydration synthesis process takes the hydrogen (H) of one monomer, and the hydroxyl (OH) group of the another combines them to form water. With the removal of the water molecule, the two monomers are now able to make covalent bonds with each other and share electrons. Simply, the two monomers are being dehydrated to synthesize a bigger molecule. This process takes place in an enzyme that allows the process to quickly occur and create large strings of monomers, creating poly______ of the specific macromolecule. The reversion of this process is the process called hydrolysis. This process adds water back into the monomers, forcing them to break off…
