NEETChemistryPolymers
Can nucleic acids, proteins and starch be considered as step growth polymers?
Options
- AYes, for nucleic acids and proteins, but not starch
- BNo, all three cannot be considered as step growth polymers
- CYes, for starch, but not nucleic acids and proteins
- DYes, all three are step growth polymers i.e. condensation polymers which are formed by the loss of simple mole
Correct answer
D. Yes, all three are step growth polymers i.e. condensation polymers which are formed by the loss of simple mole
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) Yes, all three are step growth polymers i.e. condensation polymers which are formed by the loss of simple molecule like water leading to the formation of high molecular mass polymers.
