Amorphous polymers are usually transparent and semi-crystalline polymers are usually opaque. Correct?(a) No. They are all made up of polymer chains. True if they were monomers.(b) Yes. The arrangement of the chains determines the passage of light.(c) No. It is the other way around.(d) Crystallinity or amorphousness does not affect the transparency or opacity of the material.

Proteins are naturally occurring polymers formed by condensationreactions of amino acids, which have the generalstructureIn this structure, ¬R represents ¬H, ¬CH3, or anothergroup of atoms; there are 20 different natural amino acids,and each has one of 20 different R groups. (a) Draw the generalstructure of a protein formed by condensation polymerizationof the generic amino acid shown here. (b) When only afew amino acids react to make a chain, the product is called a“peptide” rather than a protein; only when there are 50 aminoacids or more in the chain would the molecule be called a protein.For three amino acids (distinguished by having three differentR groups, R1, R2, and R3), draw the peptide that resultsfrom their condensation reactions. (c) The order in which theR groups exist in a peptide or protein has a huge influence onits biological activity. To distinguish different peptides andproteins, chemists call the first amino acid the one at the “Nterminus” and the last one the one at…
