Quick explanation

Glycine polymerises to produce a polypeptide. (HT only)

  • This point belongs to Reactions of alkenes and alcohols (chemistry only), especially Polymerisation and naturally occurring polymers.
  • You need to be able to glycine polymerises to produce a polypeptide. (HT only).
  • The key ideas to know are polypeptide, HT only, and polymer.
  • Use the linked flashcards and practice questions to check recall, then practise applying the idea in an exam-style answer.

Why it matters

This objective helps connect Polymerisation and naturally occurring polymers to exam-style questions, flashcards, and revision notes for Reactions of alkenes and alcohols (chemistry only).

Quick student answer

What should you know about glycine polymerises to produce a polypeptide. (HT only)?

Direct answer

In Chemistry, this page helps you answer questions about glycine polymerises to produce a polypeptide. (HT only) within Reactions of alkenes and alcohols (chemistry only). Focus on the key process, correct scientific terms, and how the idea links to exam-style questions. Key terms to check are glycine and polypeptide.

Key terms

  • glycine: An amino acid that polymerises to form polypeptides.
  • polypeptide: A chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, formed through the polymerisation of amino acids.

Common trap

Misunderstanding Glycine Polymerisation: Emphasize that glycine polymerises through condensation polymerisation, where water is released as the amino acids join to form polypeptides.
