-
DNA
The nucleotides are based on the sugar deoxyribose, bonded to a phosphate group and a base
A DNA molecule consist of two polymer strands (with sugars bonded to a phosphate group) intertwined into a double helix)

Natural Polymers
-
-
-
Amino acids react together during condensation polymerization to make polypeptides and proteins made of long sequences of different monomers
Addition Polymerization
In addition polymers, the repeating unit has the same atoms as the monomer
This is because when the C=C bond 'opens up' in polymerization, no other molecule is formed in the reaction
