IPA: /ˈpɒlɪməreɪz/
KK: /pɑːlɪˌmɛrəs/
Definition: A type of enzyme that helps create DNA or RNA by using an existing strand as a guide.
Example: DNA polymerase is essential for DNA replication in cells.
IPA: /pəˈlɪmərɪk/
KK: /pɑˈlɪmərɪk/
Definition: Relating to or made of a substance that consists of large molecules formed by the bonding of many smaller units called monomers.
Example: The new material is polymeric, making it flexible and durable.
IPA: /ˌpɒlɪməraɪˈzeɪʃən/
KK: /pɑːlɪməraɪˈzeɪʃən/
Definition: A chemical process in which small molecules called monomers join together to form a larger molecule known as a polymer.
Example: The polymerisation of the monomers resulted in a strong and flexible material.
IPA: /ˈpɒlɪməraɪz/
KK: /pɑːˈlɪməraɪz/
Definition: To undergo a chemical process in which small molecules combine to form a larger, more complex structure called a polymer.
Example: The scientists studied how the materials polymerise when exposed to heat.
IPA: /ˈpɒlɪmərɪzəm/
KK: /pɑˈlɪmərɪzəm/
Definition: The process of creating large molecules made up of repeating units, known as polymers.
Example: Polymerism is essential in the production of many synthetic materials.
Definition: A process in chemistry where small molecules called monomers join together to form a larger molecule known as a polymer.
Example: The polymerization of the monomers resulted in a strong and flexible material.
KK: /pɑːlɪməraɪz/
Definition: To cause a substance to undergo a chemical process that combines small molecules into a larger, more complex structure.
Example: The scientist decided to polymerize the liquid to create a stronger material.
IPA: /ˈpɒlɪməraɪzɪŋ/
KK: /pɑːlɪməraɪzɪŋ/
Definition: Relating to a process in which small molecules combine to form a larger, more complex structure.
Example: The polymerizing agent is essential for creating strong materials.
Definition: To undergo a chemical process where small molecules combine to form a larger, more complex structure.
Example: The scientists are polymerizing the materials to create a new type of plastic.
IPA: /ˈpɒlɪmɔːf/
KK: /ˈpɑlɪˌmɔrf/
Definition: A type of organism or substance that can exist in different forms or structures.
Example: The scientist studied a polymorph of the mineral to understand its properties better.
IPA: /ˌpɒlɪˈmɔːfɪk/
KK: /pɑːlɪˈmɔːrfɪk/
Definition: Relating to the ability to take on different forms or shapes.
Example: The software is designed to be polymorphic, adapting to various operating systems.
