polymerase

IPA: /ˈpɒlɪməreɪz/

KK: /pɑːlɪˌmɛrəs/

noun

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.

polymeric

IPA: /pəˈlɪmərɪk/

KK: /pɑˈlɪmərɪk/

adjective

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.

polymerisation

IPA: /ˌpɒlɪməraɪˈzeɪʃən/

KK: /pɑːlɪməraɪˈzeɪʃən/

noun

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.

polymerise

IPA: /ˈpɒlɪməraɪz/

KK: /pɑːˈlɪməraɪz/

verb

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.

polymerism

IPA: /ˈpɒlɪmərɪzəm/

KK: /pɑˈlɪmərɪzəm/

noun

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.

polymerization

IPA: /ˌpɒlɪməraɪˈzeɪʃən/

KK: /pɑːlɪməraɪˈzeɪʃən/

noun

polymerize

IPA: /ˈpɒlɪməraɪz/

KK: /pɑːlɪməraɪz/

transitive verb

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.

polymerizing

IPA: /ˈpɒlɪməraɪzɪŋ/

KK: /pɑːlɪməraɪzɪŋ/

adjective

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.

verb

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.

polymorph

IPA: /ˈpɒlɪmɔːf/

KK: /ˈpɑlɪˌmɔrf/

noun

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.

polymorphic

IPA: /ˌpɒlɪˈmɔːfɪk/

KK: /pɑːlɪˈmɔːrfɪk/
