Can nucleic acid protein and starch be considered as step growth polymers?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes. Step growth polymers are actually condensation polymers in which largenumber of polynucleotides, `alpha`-amino acids and `alpha`-D-glucose units combine together with the loss of `H_(2)O` molecules leading to the formation of high molecular mass nucleic acids , proteins and starch respectively.
