Pitkiäketjuisia is a Finnish term that translates to "long-chain" in English. It is primarily used in chemistry and biology to describe molecules that consist of a substantial number of repeating units linked together. This concept is fundamental to understanding the structure and properties of various important substances.
In chemistry, the term often refers to polymers, which are macromolecules made up of repeating monomer subunits.
Biologically, long-chain molecules are essential for life. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are long chains
