Which of these pairs are synthetic and natural macromolecules respectively?
- Haemoglobin and nylon, creatine and polyethylene
- Nylon and polyethlene, creatine and Haemoglobin
-
Nylon and creatine, polyethylene and haemoglobin
- Creatine and Polyethylene, nylon and haemoglobin
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
A macromolecule is a very large molecule, usually with a diameter of 100 to 10,000 angstroms (10−5 to 10−3 mm).
Nylon is a synthetic macromolecule that's made up of repeating subunits called monomers. It's created through a condensation polymerization reaction between adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine.
Polyethylene is a synthetic polymer, which means it's made by scientists and engineers from petroleum oil.
Creatine is a non-protein compound that is derived from amino acids, and is produced in the body by the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It is also found in protein-rich foods like meat, fish, and milk.
Hemoglobin is a natural organic(natural) macromolecule.
