Question

Explain the following bond linking of monomers in a polymer. (i) Peptide polymer (ii) Glycosicid bond (iii) Phosphodiester bond.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Glycosidic bonds are the covalent chemical bonds that link ring-shaped sugar molecules to other molecules. They form by a condensation reaction between an alcohol or amine and the anomeric carbon of the sugar.

A peptide bond or amide bond is a covalent chemical bond linking two consecutive amino acid monomers along a peptide or protein chain.

The phosphodiester bond is the linkage between the 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule and the 5' carbon atom of another, deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA. It is the strong covalent bonds form between the phosphate group and two 5-carbon ring carbohydrates (pentoses) over two ester bonds.

Answer 2

Answer:

Any of a group of organic or synthetic compounds known as polymers are made up of macromolecules, or very large molecules, which are just multiples of simpler chemical building blocks known as monomers.

Explanation:

Peptide bond: A covalent chemical bond connecting two subsequent amino acid monomers along a peptide or protein chain is known as a peptide bond.

Glycosidic bonds: Ring-shaped sugar molecules are joined to other molecules by covalent chemical bonds called glycosidic bonds. They are created when an amine or alcohol reacts by condensation with the sugar's anomeric carbon.

Phosphodiester bond:

Any of a group of organic or synthetic compounds known as polymers are made up of macromolecules, or very large molecules, which are just multiples of simpler chemical building blocks known as monomers.
