Scientific Practices How Is Hamburger Like Nylon?
Take a moment to refresh your knowledge about two polyamides: the nylon from a sports jersey, and the protein found in hamburger.
- a. What
functional group do nylon and meat proteins have in common? - b. Nylon is usually synthesized from two types of monomers. In contrast, proteins are synthesized from one type of monomer. What functional group(s) do the monomers for each contain?
- c. Are nylon and protein addition
polymers or condensation polymers?
