Many molecules that make up living things are big molecules that are made up of a bunch of smaller molecules joined together like links on a chain. Monomers are what we call molecules that are one link big Poly
Amylose consists ofa linear, helical chains of roughly 500 to 20,000 alpha-D-glucose monomers linked together through alpha (1-4) glycosidic bonds. Amylopectin molecules are huge, branched polymers of glucose, each containing between one and two million residues. In contract to amylose, amylopectin...
