Chapter 28, Problem 20P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The protein biosynthesis shown in Figure 27.12 is a step growth or chain growth is to be stated and the resulting protein is an addition or a condensation polymer is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Polymerization is the process in which the small molecules (monomer molecules) link together in a chemical reaction to form large chain that are called polymer.

The polymer formed by the simple addition reaction of monomers without the generation of by-product is known as addition polymer and this reaction is called as addition polymerization. It is a chain growth polymerization process.

Condensation polymerization is the process for the formation of polymers in which the polymers are formed by the linkage of the molecule with removal of small molecules like water or methanol. It is a step-growth polymerization process.
