Describe the addition and the condensation polymers. Explain the difference between the reactions by which those two groups of polymers are obtained. Provide the examples of both addition, and condensation polymers, and briefly name their applications in life/industry.
Proteins are naturally occurring polymers formed by condensationreactions of amino acids, which have the generalstructure In this structure, — R represents — H, — CH3, or anothergroup of atoms; there are 20 different natural amino acids,and each has one of 20 different R groups. (a) Draw the generalstructure of a protein formed by condensation polymerizationof the generic amino acid shown here. (b) When only afew amino acids react to make a chain, the product is called a“peptide” rather than a protein; only when there are 50 aminoacids or more in the chain would the molecule be called a protein.For three amino acids (distinguished by having three differentR groups, R1, R2, and R3), draw the peptide that resultsfrom their condensation reactions. (c) The order in which theR groups exist in a peptide or protein has a huge influence onits biological activity. To distinguish different peptides andproteins, chemists call the first amino acid the one at the “Nterminus” and the last one the…

"Co-polymers" consist of two different monomers ("A" and "B") joined in analternating fashion (ABABAB...). Block co-polymers also consist of twodifferent monomers, but in this case, blocks of polymer containing only Aunits are joined to blocks of polymer containing only B units(AAAAABBBBB...). How block co-polymers are synthesized?
