A biologist analyses a naturally occurring polymer from a plant and finds that it is made from glucose monomers.
A student concludes that the polymer must be starch. Explain why this conclusion is not justified.
94 exam-style questions on AQA GCSE Chemistry 7.3 Synthetic and naturally occurring polymers, covering 7.3.1 Addition polymerisation, 7.3.2 Condensation polymerisation, 7.3.3 Amino acids, and 7.3.4 DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and other naturally occurring polymers.
