Question

Consider the statements regarding the fundamental definitions of polymer chemistry: I. All polymers are macromolecules. II. All macromolecules are polymers. Which of the following is correct?

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

A polymer is formed by the repetition of simpler units (monomers), making it a macromolecule due to its large size. However, some macromolecules, like chlorophyll or lipids, have high molecular weights but do not contain repeating monomeric units, so they are not polymers.
