Biopolymers are just naturally occuring polymers.  A polymer is any molecule where small units link together to make a chain of subunits.  Examples in industry are plastics, but in biology, polymers are seen in peptide chains (used for builiding proteins), DNA (which controls the form and function of an organism by encoded the information that is needed to assemple petide chains to make proteins), charbohydrates (chains of sugars that can serve to store energy or serve structural purposes, like glycoprotein recognition molecules that are on the outsides of cells), and lipids (fatty acid chains that also store energy or serve to make structures, like cell membranes).\n\nAdditionally, proteins of a similar type like actin can polymerize, to create a super-protein that have important functions in cell structure and motility.\n\nThe components of these are nucleotides for DNA, amino acids for peptide chains/proteins, sugars for carbohydrates, and CH2 units for lipids (so-called saturated fats are chains of carbon atoms with two hydrogens bonded to each carbon atom).

The term is polymerization.  This can refer to the making of polysaccharides from simple sugars as mentioned above.  It can also mean the making of DNA or RNA from single nucleotides, the making of protein peptides from singel amino acids, or the making of polymer plastics from smaller maolecules.  The idea is that several monomers (free units that have a joining point at each end) can link together like a chain making a polymer.  There are more examples than the four here, but those four are the most common.

Carbon occurs in all organic life and is the basis of organic chemistry. This nonmetal also has the interesting chemical property of being able to bond with itself and a wide variety of other elements, forming nearly ten million known compounds. \n\nBecause of their unique properties, multi-carbon compounds exhibit extremely large variety and the range of application of organic compounds is enormous. They form the basis of or are important constituents of many products (paints, plastics, food, explosives, drugs, petrochemicals, and many others) and of course (apart from a very few exceptions) they form the basis of all life processes.\n\nThe different shapes and chemical reactivities of organic molecules provide an astonishing variety of functions, like those of enzyme catalysts in biochemical reactions of live systems. The autopropagating nature of these is what life is all about.\n\nBecause of the special properties of carbon, it is likely that life on other star systems will be found to be carbon-based, in spite of speculations about the possibility of substituting silicon, which lies just below carbon in the periodic table.

those two are proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).  those two are present in all the living beings (the only problem with them is, that in viruses they are present - but some scientists belive that viruses are not living materia).\n\nthere are other organic components in living materia, such as lipids, carbohzdrates, vitamins, ferments etc.\n\nand those organic moleculas are composed of minerals - those which are listed in the first answer.

Carbohydrates are used in a multitude of ways in plant molecular biology.  \n\nAs an incredibly vast type of cytosolic and plastidic compound, carbohydrates can serve as transport receptors, protein transport target markers, structural features (cell wall = alpha-cellulose) amoung MANY MANY others.\n\nAll amino acids, nucleic acids, lipids and secondary metabolites all require carbon in their skeletons.  Carbohydrates of any input form can be broken down and re built into these cellular components.

A monosacharide is one that has not condensed with other sugars to make a disaccharide or a polysaccharide.  If you polymerize glucose, you get glycogen, which is created by the condensation of many glucose molecules together.  Starch and fiber etc. are polymers (polysaccharides, meaning "many sugars") containing many linked subunits, and the subunits are each called monosaccharides (literally, "one sugar").

Commonly used biodegradable materials includes:\n\nThermoplastic Starch Materials (TSM) \n\nMater-Bi (PCL) \n\nPolylatic Acid (PLA) \n\nPoly-hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV)

Bio chemistry is actually study of chemistry of the life process of biological entities. It deals with the metabolism of food materials, i.e. how energy is generated from these and how building blocks (like amino acid, proteins and nucleic acids) of the body are made from them and like wise.Similarly it deals with differt types of harmones within living beings.Moreover it is now a differnt discipline in the study of science and covers a very wide area.

Any number of bio-chemicals which have only been analyzed from minute amounts but which would make great impact if they could be mass-produced as medicine.\n\nMonocrystalline high temperature (as in liquid N2) supra-conductor cables. Theoratically possible, in practice not quite yet achieved.\n\nElongated buckminster fullerene carbon cable. Again, only found in minimal experimental size yet, such a substance could open space for industrial use.

Biotechnology is a technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine.\n\nOf the many different definitions available, the one formulated by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity is one of the broadest:\n\n"Biotechnology means any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use." (Article 2. Use of Terms) \nBiotechnology can also be defined as the manipulation of organisms to do practical things and to provide useful products.\n\nOne section of biotechnology is the directed use of organisms for the manufacture of organic products (examples include beer, milk products, and skin). Naturally present bacteria are utilized by the mining industry in bioleaching. Biotechnology is also used to recycle, treat waste, clean up sites contaminated by industrial activities (bioremediation), and produce biological weapons.

Organic compounds all have carbon. No carbon in the molecular structure, then it is not organic. I don't think you can limit the number of classes to four. In living organisms, classes include carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleic acids.  Almost all organic compounds fall into one these classes.

1. ATP is the amount of energy that your body has, so it's basically your body's energy.\n\n2. Nucleotides are monomers for nucleic acids\n\n3. Examples: DNA, RNA, etc.\n\n4. Monomers of Carbs: sugars (monosaccharides, disaccharide, polysaccharide) note: saccharide=sugar\n\n5. Proteins are linked by a peptide bond.\n\nHope this helped you out.

Carbohydrates are sugar polymers or sugar molecules.\n\nThere are two major kinds of sugar polymers, starch (called carbohydrates in dietary context) and cellulose (called fibre in that context). However, the term carbohydrates includes all sugars, too.\n\nThe body breaks down the more complex carbohydrates into sugars which can be transported to the cells or to the liver for storage. In the liver, the sugars will be combined to form starch, which in turn will be broken down again when the body requires more energy than blood sugar levels can provide.

you need to provide just a llliiiiiiitttttttlllleeee more information if you want a real answer.\n\nGlue....industrial, relationships, arts and crafts, molecular, ????

Cell bio would encompass all things on a cellular level.\nUsually organisms with a "life of their own".\nMolecular bio goes further into the atomic level.\nEg: a molecule of water (H2O) consists of 3 atoms. take a H away and you have Hydrogen peroxide(HO). A cell is usually made up of many different molecules when added together, make an organism like a liver cell, cancer cell, stem cell,etc...
