Q1
In a lab, a molecule is identified as a chain of repeating subunits formed when the carboxyl group of one subunit reacts with the amino group of another, releasing water. The resulting covalent linkage repeats to form a long polymer with variable side chains (R groups) projecting from the backbone. Such polymers can fold based on interactions among R groups, affecting molecular shape and chemical properties. Which statement best describes the macromolecule category and polymerization process for this molecule?
