4. Addition Polymerisation synthetic thermoplastic Alkenes Thermosetting plastics Alkenes

5. Macromolecules  Large molecules  Macromolecules are formed when monomers are linked together to form longer chains called polymers.  The same process of making & breaking polymers is found in all living organisms.

7. Monomers & functional groups

8. Combinations of different units

9. Glucose molecule

10. Formation of starch  Starch is formed from 2 monomer units, glucose & fructose, which link together via condensation reaction to produce the disaccharide sucrose.  The enzyme salivary amylase, found in saliva, hydrolyses starch into its monomer units.

11. Combination of glucose units

12. Repeating unit

13. Amino acid units

14. Proteins  Proteins are made up of amino acid monomer units.  The amino end (-NH2) of one amino acid join up with the acid end (-COOH) of another amino acid to form a peptide bond.

15. Monomer/Polymer/Cellular structure

16. Plastics  Addition polymers are formed by subjecting the monomer to high pressure & temperature in the presence of a catalyst.  Polyesters & polyamides (nylon) are synthetic fibers made from condensation polymerisation.  There are 2 types of plastics : thermoplastics (easily remoulded) & thermosetting plastics (cannot be re- melted or remoulded)

18. I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do. Helen Keller

19. “ This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done” A Little story about Every-, Some-, Any- & Nobody
