Which of the following statements regarding biopolymers is false?

a. Different sequences of the monomers can lead to different functions.

b. Only soluble polymers can be created from soluble monomers.

c. A wide, almost uncountable variety of polymers can be created from just a few monomers.

d. Different linkages between the monomers can lead to different functions.

e. Biopolymers can fold up into complex shapes.

b. Only soluble polymers can be created from soluble monomers.

Explanation:

The properties of the biopolymers are not exactly the same as that of their respective monomers. The solubility of a biopolymer depends on its final three-dimensional packing and the type of the monomers present on the surface.

For example, cellulose is a polysaccharide of D-glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar and is water-soluble. However, cellulose is water-insoluble.
