Question
- A. It contains many linked monomer units.
- B. It must be soluble in every biological solvent.
- C. It must contain only inorganic ions.
- D. It must be a reagent used in food tests.
Answer
Correct answer: It contains many linked monomer units.. MCQ route 10: this exact option matches Define polymers as molecules made from many monomers joined together. and should be chosen over distractors that change the mechanism, context or biological consequence.
Explanation
Reasoning route 10: A precise explanation should use the context, quote or interpret any evidence, and return to Define polymers as molecules made from many monomers joined together. rather than giving a generic biology statement. The correct option is "It contains many linked monomer units.", so the explanation must explicitly support that wording. The question wording is "What must be true for a biological molecule to be called a polymer?". If data are provided, the answer should identify the pattern first and then explain the biological significance. If practical wording appears, address method, independent variable, dependent variable, control variables, risk, precision, accuracy and uncertainty; evaluate limitations, reliability, validity, anomalies and the conclusion. For aseptic or microbial work, include contamination control, sterile technique, disinfectant use or inhibition-zone evidence.
