Q
are polymers and macromolecules the same thing
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Polymers and macromolecules are related but not identical concepts. A macromolecule is a very large molecule, typically composed of thousands or more atoms, and includes classes such as proteins, nucleic acids, and synthetic polymers. Therefore, all polymers are macromolecules, but not all macromolecules are polymers. Polymers specifically refer to large molecules formed by the repetitive bonding together of many smaller units called monomers. This distinction clarifies that while polymers always have a repeating structure from monomers, macromolecules might not, embracing a broader range of large biological and synthetic molecules.
