The Vietnamese term "cao phân tử" translates to "macromolecular" in English. It refers to large molecules that are made up of many smaller units called monomers. These large molecules are typically found in polymers and biological substances such as proteins and nucleic acids.

Explanation:
  1. Basic Definition: "Cao phân tử" describes substances that consist of very large molecules. These molecules have high molecular weight and complex structures, which often give them unique properties and functions.

  2. Usage Instructions:

    • Use "cao phân tử" when discussing chemistry, biology, or materials science, especially when referring to large molecules like plastics, proteins, or synthetic fibers.
  3. Example Sentences:

    • "Nhựa một loại vật liệu cao phân tử." (Plastic is a type of macromolecular material.)
    • "Protein trong cơ thể các phân tử cao phân tử cần thiết cho sự sống." (Proteins in the body are macromolecular substances essential for life.)
Advanced Usage:
  • In scientific contexts, "cao phân tử" can be used to discuss the properties and behaviors of macromolecules, such as their mechanical strength, thermal stability, and how they interact with other molecules.
Word Variants:
  • Phân tử: This means "molecule." It can be used independently to refer to any molecule, not just large ones.
  • Cao: This means "high" or "large," and can be used in various contexts to denote size or elevation.
Different Meanings:
  • "Cao phân tử" specifically refers to large molecules in a scientific context. It does not have alternate meanings outside of this field.
Synonyms:
  • "Polymer" (polyme) can sometimes be used interchangeably with "cao phân tử" when referring to macromolecules made up of repeating units.
  • "Phân tử lớn" (large molecule) can also describe the concept but is less commonly used.
