Polimer, kovalent bağlarla bir arada tutulan, monomer adı verilen küçük moleküllerden oluşan bir zincirdir. Organizmalar biyolojik polimerleri sentezleyebilir veya bilim adamları laboratuvarda polimerleri sentezleyebilir. Doğal polimerler, tüm canlı organizmalarda bulunan genetik materyal olan DNA ve yaşamın yapı taşları olan proteinler, polisak...
